Title: Alloy USA JK Front Dana 30/44 Outer Axle Tube Seals
Post by: Widjeeper62 on December 01, 2016, 09:33:34 AM

Has any of you used this product or heard reviews good or bad about it?

When I replaced the wheel hubs and ball joints of my JK I noticed that the stock plastic dust covers are rubbish as my axles were dirty inside with dirt and debris so I am looking for an upgrade.

Yes I used them on my Dana 30 on the YJ way back.....

They have replaceable seals that are,or,were £8 each so no worries. And you can pump them full of grease.
The grease sits between the inner and outer seal thus keeping crap out of the axle tube.

And they worked for me when I did a lot of mud..... There have been a number of companies that do or did these ...they are all similar so see no reason that these would be any different.

They do keep crap out.

But you do need to grease regular - I normally do mine before a muddy/wet run - to help stop water getting in, because if it does it struggles to get out.

What you will find is when changing UJ's / inner oil seals you have a load of old grease to push out, instead of grit
