axle seals: Superior vs Alloy USA
Just curious if anyone has any incite as to why the Superior axle seals are $10 more than Alloy USA? What makes them so much better that they cost more? Anyone running these? likes/dislikes?

I am not sure why Superior's are more, but their seal is much thinner. My set broke the first time i installed my shafts - even with very liberal grease on the shaft and the seal.
My second set is Alloy's - the seal is MUCH MUCH thicker.

i have used both. they both install the same and they both work well. i have the alloy usa seals in lj rubicon now and they seem to be exactly the same as the superior seal. i would go with the least expensive.
