Two main concerns:
- First, the front axle is leaking slightly (see pics) at this “box”, anyone know what it is? Doesn’t seem to be leaking much as I haven’t seen any puddles beneath the truck but it’s noticeable. Is it a cause for concern?

- Second, when in 4 High and on very snowy roads, the truck lurches heavily when turning more than about 25% in any direction, is this common? I’m new to solid front axles and understand the front/rear diffs bind when steering, causing a lurch, but I expected that to happen only on dry pavement. I’m getting the jumping/jerking/lurching in snowy icy parking lots.

Thanks in advance!
