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,

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.
