So your problem with the front end is that you STILL have noises after the shock replacement? I bet its your ball joints. They can make a lot of noise when they go out. And when they do go out, its a catastrophy. Replace them NOW. And look into why they went out. Its probably the angle you have them at with the OME lift. You need to get a diff drop on there to get the angles back to stock.


On the rear end, I would check out all the bushings on your control arms, upper, lower, and panhard rod. And yes, your axle seal failed (unless your low on brake fluid, check to make sure) and you need to replace it and inspect your rear bearings ASAP. If its been leaking for a while, it could have gotten into your bearings and washed the grease away. When you take the axle out, see how much play you have in the bearing and if its smooth or not. You'll have to have a press to remove and replace it.
