Hi, my 1990 Cherokee that I just bought and am going thru went thru some dirty muddy high water. it has a dana 30 front end, with solid axles, the stock vacuum operated two piece passenger side axle replaced with solid, and manual locking hub.
the axles have a lot of pitting where the oil seals go, maybe I can polish it out, else new axles I suppose. anyway, looking at the Factory Ten greasable axles seals to keep the axles dry and clean inside the tube. are these a great thing? my concern is if water ever did get in, it wont easily come out with these seals, its not like they drain, if so, everything inside will rust. is this a problem?
Note my jeep did not have the hard plastic mud slingers on the axles, this is why so much mud and sand got in. should I go with the stock plastic slingers, or is the Factory Ten seal the best way to go?
Thanks!
