Please help... Rear differential leaking fluid

[Suavebob23]

I swapped out my rear control arm bushing today, I thought I had good support but now I my drivers side shaft is leaking. Can anyone tell me what's going on by looking at the pics?

The outputs literally just "pop" into place. There is a ring around the end that snaps into a groove. Looks like yours has just popped out. Un-bolt the cv and tap the flange back into place with a soft faced hammer.

Chances are you don't even need to unbolt it. Just wrap your hands around the flange, pull it out a little (1/2", not far), and slam it home like it's a redhead.
With care, obviously.

That looks popped out to me. If it isn't though. Just a differential seal. Easy peasy.

Definitely must have had too much weight when I unbolted the lower strut bolt and had it hanging. I'm going to get under there tomorrow to see if I can get it back flush. Looks like I lost done fluid as well so I plan on flushing the old stuff out with some new fluid.

Thanks guys for the timely advice, I will let you know how it goes
