the other week i replaced both wishbones and on the passenger side i accidentally knocked the shaft out while doing it :clapping: < idiot i know.. haha, i let the oil drain as i thought i might as well change it now

popped the shaft back in and after refilling i noticed its leaking, do the shafts just push back in and thats it ? or do the seals clip back or anything like that or have i just knackered the seal?


its not flowing out just dripping slowly, about half a cup full in 4 days.

Shafts just push in. Probably nicked one of the seals, easy to change though just push in new ones
