Dana 35 rear shafts.

[falcon556]

I recently pulled my D35 shafts out and couldn't help noticing the groove worn by the seal.
One side looks pretty bad but there is no leak.
Is there a way to repair the groove? If not, where should I look for a new one?
Quality and price are important.
TIA.

If you had no leak before, I would just reuse them. Just make sure the shaft is clean when you reinstall it and put some grease or vaseline on the seal area to make sure it is lubed. Maybe even put some fresh seals in if your worried.

I have no leak and I am using it, I was wondering if anybody has a way to fix them. Also a source just in case.
In the past I have polished the groove with 5000 grit paper.

Some parts stores sell a sleeve that is put over the grooved area. I know NAPA by me carries these repair sleeves.

Very interesting, thanks.
