Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes:
Axle Vent System
1995-1996 Changes
Applications

Tech Note 1: Axle Vent System
Many rear wheel seal leaks are caused by pressure building in the axle due to a clogged axle vent system. Always check and clear the vent system.

Tech Note 2: 1995-1996 Changes
QU20254 started replacing QU20343 in production axles around 1995-1996. The two Vent Bolts are functionally interchangeable even though have different overall heights. Both parts have the same 1-3/16" thread/shoulder length and both connect to 5/16" ID Vent Hose. The difference is the hose nipple. QU20343 has a smooth nipple and requires QU50048 Hose Clamp to secure the hose. QU20254 has a barbed nipple and the hose is usually connected without the use of a clamp.
