[QUOTE="Ed C, post: 950341, member: 63881"] Those are a lot of visual inspections. You could check and make a determination yourself on whether you need to do it now, or if it can wait ( tires for instance). If your rear pinion seal isn't dripping (meaning there's moisture around the seal but it's not forming drops), I would not worry about it just yet. Mine had moisture for about a year before it started dripping on the driveway ($120 out the door, mostly labor the seal is about $10). The belt is an easy & cheap DIY. The only things I would be concerned with is the L/F Axle Seal (depending on how bad it is leaking) and the R/F inner Tie rod (probably the only thing I would do now). I'm not disputing that all of those need to be done, but you could do it a little at the time and not shed $2000 in one shot... I think it is cheaper to keep it, if it's paid off... JMHO [/QUOTE]
