On April 11, I had my right (passenger) CV axle replaced at NTB (never again), anyway, after the replacement, the trans axle seal started leaking. I took it back to them 3 times and they still could not stop the leak... They did say they went to Volvo and got an original seal the last time.

So I take it to a reputable shop, Friday, they replaced the seal and told me that NTB put it in backwards. Well, today it’s still leaking. Does anyone have an idea of why after the new axle is put in, the seal leaks? Could it be that NTB put in the incorrect axle and the end where the seal is it’s not as big?

I’m at my wits end; no one can figure this out.

How does the seal go in, please tell me...The seal has a metal part on one side and rubber on the other. Do you see the metal part or the rubber par when you are looking at it?

Yep, you went to the wrong shop. I stopped at my local Tires+ to get tires mounted and there was an Audi A4 getting a new timing belt - more than 8 hours on the lift???

So, do you know who made the axle? The Volvo are quite expensive, reman axles aren't that cheap either. Some of the third world axles are really poor and may be off in diameter.

Is this the seal on your car?

A few of us have used EMPI (Empire) remanned axles. Not expensive, the OEM are $$$ and not worth it. Check FCP price:

Sounds like you have learned your lesson. Go to a mechanic for mechanical things and tire stores for tires. As for batteries, Wallmart. If you need an alignment, find a good alignment shop and not a tire store that hires kids to do it.
