Alloy USA axle seals

05LJ · 10-22-2005, 06:58 PM

I have a set of the Alloy USA axle seals to install on the Dana 30 front axle of my LJ and wanted to know (from those who have had them installed for awhile) how they are holding up for you? How many miles do you have on them? Have you had the seals wear out and or leak grease? Thanks

You might go to www.4x4xplor.com and ask Eddie, he did a write-up on his site a while back and he usually posts follow-ups on how things are doing.

They've worked out great for me. They do spin with the axles though, which is normal according to Alloy when I called them. I haven't had any issues. Good luck on the install.

are these only for Dana 30's?

I have them and was pretty impressed with them at first. I seem to have one leaking grease back into the axle housing and cant seem to keep grease in it. The only thing I can think is the rubber seal on the inside must have a tear in it. That is a LOT of work to tear it off just for a look! They are a great idea though for keeping the mud out. Anyone else had these problems??

Do yours stay full of grease? I fill mine until they bulge out and a bit of grease oozes out, but then one seems to go down within a drive or two.
