2544 axle popping noise rear end

No leaks anywhere.

The axle seals do chirp and squeak on my 2544 as the wheels rotate. If I wipe them down (from the outside) with a clean rag and slather some silicone grease around the axle/seal area, they will stay quite for a while. Other than noise, there's no trans oil leakage from the seals, binding, etc.

Use silicone spray. It will penetrate under the seal lip.

Well I got it back and everything is working again. The sensor on the seat had to be replaced and the axle where the wheel hub bolts on was a little rusty and they put some grease on it and it stopped. Weird....

So mine isn't the only one that makes a noise while riding along?! It sounds like a cross between something in the tires and a squeak. I was beginning to worry I had a bad axle or something. That makes me feel better....
