Hey guys,
I thought I would drop a line about a new product. If you guy's already know about these then my apologies.
I think these are great as I have a '79 Wagoneer front 44 and have issues with the inner seals allows leaking. Anyone who has this problem know how much of a pain it is to replace these inner seals.
Well, I finally found a solution or at least a preventive measure to help.
Mad 4Wheel Drive has come out with an outer axle seal!!!
Below is the link:

They also have sleeves to accommodate the varying Tube Diameters found on dana 44's. Depending on tube diameter you may have to install sleeve before installing the seals.
Below are two sleeve options.

I ordered the seals yesterday along with the 2.375" sleeves. I am in the process of replacing my axle shafts and u-joints with Yukon chromolly shafts and super joints. Since I am pulling it all apart anyway, I thought I would give these a shot and see how they work.
Once Install I will post my thoughts and pics.
Thanks,
Luca
