There are some aftermarket seals kits available for the end of the front axle tubes. They do not keep your dif fluid in. They help to keep mud out of the axle tubes. Mud in the tubes will wear upon the outer lip of your actual axle oil seals and lead to reduced seal life. There are often plastic shields oem on many axles which help also to deflect mud from the axle tube, serving the same intended purpose as the aftermarket parts.
