Learn from my mistakes people...  |
Use OEM or a good quality seal(timkin is good). Also check the sealing area on the axle for nics and dings.

I've only used OEM seals. The ones from Napa were shapped incorrectly.
That being said, the issue wasn't dings or nicks, but rather that I put the seal in incorrectly.

For my car I only get parts from the dealer, or a a place that sells dealer parts.
I don't want to be replacing the same part twice. I only go these auto stores to buy oil and dump my oil.

For anyone working on putting seals or bearings in their car, I highly recommend purchasing a seal driver set...very inexpensive and highly effective.
