Thinking about getting a set of these seals. Any pro's/con's to them?

i like mine keep crap out of my tubes

Jason are your's the Superior "brand"? BTW, got that diff guard on yet?

If you are a heavy mudder, these would be a wise investment. I can't count how many times i cleaned out my axle tubes on my tj. Always packed with mud.

It also reduces the chances of shoving debris in the diff when you re-install the axle shafts.

I used to run the Alloy USA brand ones on mine...really liked them. Just make sure you really clean up the first 2 inches of the axle tube really well for ease of installation. Unfortunately, when I switched to CV axles, I had to take them out. But the cv boots ride pretty close to the axle tube, basically serving the same function.

Jason, I still have them.

Kyle, they are tube seals that slide into the axle housing to keep debris out. Look like this...

Yup. I wasn't surprised to see it like that. I had water getting in there everytime i went off road and that bad seal was the reason.

Gotta love mud.

 

[Kyle]

Very interesting, havent seen that before.

 

[muddeprived]

That's what i meant by shoving stuff in there when you re-install axle shafts. I felt a bit funny when I put the shafts in that day so i opened the diff and saw my lockright packed with dirt. if only i had the seals.........

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

wow i think you qualify for them!

 

[Quinn]

Any difference between the Alloy USA and the Superior axle seals?

Not a whole lot, from what I have read they are very similar as far as quality goes.

Some people only sink one side of their axle in mud and only need one. :rofl:


Rusty's seems to be the way to go.
