Re: Rear axle housing grease zerk question
Wow, this has been up for 4 days and no comments. opinions! I have been giving the issue of the axle seal more thought. I'm convinced that the axle seal has two functions. The PRIMARY function is to keep differential oil out of the hub and brake assembly. The SECONDARY (co-lateral) function is to divert grease out toward the hub bearing. That's why the seal is installed with the lip facing inboard. Consider which is more critical, 600W in your brakes or a little grease in the differential.
