AlloyUSA Axle tube seals
 

Anybody use them? Thoughts?

I have a leak on my passenger axle seal, so while i'm pulling everything out to replace that tiny $3 part, I thought I'd add these to the outer tubes to help with the water entry and dirt/sand that makes it's way in. Would like some opinions of users.

I want a set. I see them here for sale, used, somewhat often.

They work if you follow the manufacturer's recommended lubrication intervals.

Had them on my old 30 and they worked great. I greased them up before every ride and it always stayed clean inside the tubes.

I've got a brand new set for sale for $40 if you're ever up near Raleigh, NC.

Not shipping? :brows:

I know right?
I just missed that window, I was in Raleigh a few weeks ago!

Looks like when I get some time these will be a definite addition.
Weekend project of axle seals, oil pan gasket, cleaning TB/intake/sensors and new diff lube. Once I get a weekend free....

Weekend free? Hmm...not sure what that is....:dunno:



:laughing:

Keep in mind..

Once the rubber gets hollowed out a tad bit, and it will.

Then water is allowed to get past the "seal" and then you get water held inside the tube and sooner or later that water is high enough to be held up against the inner seal to axle area. All the while starting to rust and then be held to the seal surface of the inner seal.

They are bling, but you will never see them on a rig of someone that is purpose built and does ALL their own work. And for a reason...

Total buzzkill. But logical.

Extra seals are $5 a pair and axles are pretty easy to pull. I don't see issues with changing the seals as part of my yearly maintenance.

This.
I've had mine over a year with no leaks. But I do regular maintenance on my vehicles and this just becomes another step. My axles let mud and water in before I put these on, since have been clean after every trip.

I've sold quite a few and so far no negative feedback on 'em.
