Default Dana 30 Inner Axle Seal part help?

I've seen a zillion posts about this but am still confused. Sorry for the repost.


I bought a set of stock axles from a 1999 XJ but both inner axle seals on the front are puking oil. I've been looking for a good set of seals but don't know which manufacturer to use or what part number to order. My understanding is that I have a non-disconnect axle with the stock 27 spline count. Any help with a recommended manufacturer and part number would be HUGE.


I think I'm looking for #26 in the following diagram:

Are Omix and Crown the only available options? Is one better than the other? I couldn't find a Spicer branded seal for this axle.



Thanks,
s

I'd go with the Nationals. Did the same conversion myself and have had no issues at all. Be sure you lube the seals prior to putting the axles back in. I actually use a small amount of axle grease just to give the seals the best chance of surviving my replacing the axles. Good Luck.

Happy Jeepin'
