Axle Vent

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If a plugged vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.

A plugged vent or vent hose will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs, check the vent and the vent hose. Remove the hose from the vent nipple and clear the hose of any foreign material. While the hose is removed, pass a length of mechanics wire or a small diameter Allen wrench in and out of the vent to clean it. Connect the hose when done.
