I have watched all of your SX4 videos. I can't thank you enough for posting these. There aren't a lot of resources out there for us SX4 owners. Your videos are super easy to follow. Thanks for putting the time in to produce and post these videos. I, and I am sure many others, certainly appreciate these!

Just finished this job. Thank you for the video. Hardest part was removing rust around base of spline. FWIW, Ended up soaking flange and all 6 nuts in white vinegar and baking soda overnight and most of the rust came off. Made reassembly very easy since nuts and post threads were clean Also ended up torquing each flange nut to 36 lb-ft (per Suzuki spec on 10mm diameter bolts).

Once again great stuff that made the job so much easier. I had the same pitting but rubbed it down with #0000 steel wool then added a thin layer of Hondabond (RTV gasket) to hopefully guard against the new seal (passenger only) leaking.

Thanks again for this - The Fiat Sedici is the same - great help to me in changing mine...

Excellent video. Thank you. My seal still leaked as shaft was pitted. Cured by fitting a Speedi-sleeve 99139 35mm by 13mm and new seal 35mm inside, 52mm outside, 8mm deep. You will need a pipe about 36.5 - 37 mm inside diameter to drive on sleeve as one supplied is too short.

I've just started working on my vehicles in the last year & my in-laws gave me a sx4 in the last few months. Your videos have been a godsend. With all sincerity, thank you so very much!!! I wish I found your channel before I had my tensioner, idle pulley & belt fixed by a mechanic. You would've saved me another $450 (I had the water pump done since he was already working the area). Godbless brotha from America!!!

My right rear axle was pulled out of the transfer case today by a Dodge Ram work van. Almost pulled my rear tire off too! I think the car is a write off. I'll find out tomorrow when I speak to the adjuster. I made a video about it. "SX4 Accident and Mac 26D lights" The only damage to the van was his hub cap! Yea!!!! Hub Cap. (Air bag too.) We are all fine. I'm really hoping that my car gets fixed. I miss it already. Thanks for the videos!

Thanks just bought another one my wife’s is 10 years old bought brand new, so we have marchers

Had to perform this repair on my daughter's '08 Suzuki SX4. I chose to replace the axle spline (yoke) and the seal at the same time. So far, no leaks. Car has 103,000 miles. For those of you who are debating whether to do this repair yourself, or pay someone to do it for you........don't delay. The small leak from the differential may not look like much, but when you drive the car, the oil leak is blown back, toward the muffler, and could catch the car on fire.

Hi, I just replaced the rear left differential flange and the seal. the old seal was completely worn out and the old flange was barely hanging on, the retainer c clamp was also completely deteriorated inside the differential case. The new flange and the seal is in place but there is a lot of play. A mechanic friend is suggesting changing the side bearing might fix the issue, he is not sure. Do you know if replacing the side bearing is whats needed? Thanks in advance!

You can buy at at any of the online Suzuki parts vendors such as SuzukiAutomotiveParts.com Just keep in mind that Suzuki has an update part so the part number shown in the above video will no longer show up in inventory. The new updated/improved part # is 09283-35064. That's just for the seal. There is also an updated flange although you don't need to buy the updated flange, the new updated seal will work with the old one. The new flange has a new raised lip which prevents moisture/contaminants from getting beneath the outer edge of the seal. That' what was causing the leaks because the water getting under the outer edge of the seal was causing pitting of the metal beneath it which would eventually wear down the seal in that area and allow fluid to leak out.

Is this a common problem issue with Suzuki's with awd?

@JA-rn5qv

lt was a design flaw of the flange which would allow moisture to get under the outer edge of the diff seal and once under that part of the seal the trapped moisture would start to pit the metal which would create a rough surface which would then compromise that part of seal and allow for seepage of gear oil passed the seal. That is why they recommend replacing the Flange at the same time and not just the seal since the pitted metal surface can eventually eat away at the new seal as well, even though the new seal is an improved design. The improved flange has a raised lip and a plastic cover which helps to prevent moisture from making its way below the seal which will prevent the pitting/leaking issue. Suzuki was actually doing replacements of both the seal and the flange under warranty (at least in the U.S.) because this was a known issue. The new seal number is 09283-35064 (the video shows the old part and part number) and the new flange/driveshaft number is 27780-79J10. Here is a link as well that references the issue in a Technical Service Bulletin static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10087001-6903.pdf

That's usually a bad wheel bearing and that was also a somewhat common issue even with low miles. My left from wheel bearing went bad at around 23,000 miles. Was covered under warranty of course. All of the other wheel bearings on my car were fine though even 9 years and 50,000 additional miles later, all are still ok so apparently even though it was not uncommon, it was also a random issue, perhaps related to one batch of bearing that made their way on to some of the cars.

i think your overfilling in previous video caused this leak, just saying. one has to follow the capacities in the owners manual for best results. it says it only holds .8 litre total. That's not much gear oil

He did it exactly how it says to do it in the Suzuki owners manual and that is to fill it until fluid starts dripping out of the fill hole. When the dripping stops, that's .8 litres. The gear oil comes in a measured bottle, and once you can fit any more fluid in the diff you will have .20 of a litre of gear oil left over in the 1 liter bottle. Also, the diff has an escape tube so even if it were possible to over fill (which it's not) as the gear oil warms and expands while driving the extra would just drain out the escape tube. That's what it's there for.

Doesn't make that much of a difference actually. l've serviced the rear diff on ramps just like you see in the video then lowered the car back down and using the hand pump tried to add some more fluid to the diff once the car was level but wouldn't even take half of one pump more once the car was level. The amount that l filled it with while up on the ramps was as much as it would take.
