Anybody had Axle Seal issues? Looked under my truck today and both seals are pushed out.

that seal appears to be the updated seal ? i can't tell for sure

the old ones like everyone is commenting on sat on the the axle shaft this one insert into the axle tube see pic of My updated style
you can see the clean spot on the shaft where the old seal used to sit

that seal is the updated seal

the old ones like everyone is commenting on sat on the other side of the axle shaft

I don't think so, that looks exactly like the ones I did.

Other side of the shaft would be the knuckle seal?

maybe I misstated ?

they sit in the same area as my picture just the old one mounts to the axle and spins with the axle

the new one sits in the tube and the axle spins inside it

His pic may be the older one I can't really make it out ,,

shoot some grease into the unit bearing when you get it all ripped apart

The updated one is metal that gets hammered into the housing. Has a rubber center that the axle spins on
