Over high mileage, or during rough axle shaft installations, the delicate rubber sealing lips can easily slice, tear, or succumb to thermal hardening. A failing inner axle seal typically presents itself through gear oil weeping or dripping out of the ends of the front axle tubes near the steering knuckles. If left unaddressed, a low fluid level in the front pumpkin will rapidly overheat and destroy your expensive ring and pinion gears and carrier bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThis original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement seal features a premium rubber compound and an integrated guide sleeve or heavy-duty casing.
