Q: Replacement of rear seals
I have a 1994 Itasca motorhome on a GMC frame and chassis. I believe it's a 1 ton chassis. I have had to replace the same rear seal - right rear - 3 times within the last 25000 mi. I have asked the mechanic to have a very good look to determine the cause. It has to be more than faulty seals. He said everything, including the bearing appeared fine. Do you have any thoughts?
