The rear differential of my 2002 Ford Explorer XLS is leaking at 41,000 miles. Noticed the liquid on the garage floor. After I brought it to a local dealer to look at it they tell me it is the axel seals and is $450 to fix.now I look at 2002 Explorer rear problems on the internet and they are epidemic in perportion.
