Price check - axle seal kit

[paulfarber]

I found a place selling both oil seals, the cork and the paper gasket for $25.

Is that a decent prince for a 'kit'?

 

[FMJ]

I don't know, prince's can be expensive. . .


Sounds like a decent prince to me though. considering what memphis and others get for the parts individually

 

[onegmjack]

That is a good price.I gave all most $20.00 just for one seal.

 

[DieselBob]

That sounds like a reasonable price for all 4 items to me.

 

[212sparky]

would $127. be a good price for a set of 12 axle seals? ( full set for all axles)

 

[frodobaggins]

I'd pay that prince for a kit.

I can get the inner and outer seals for $9.50 each. I use RTV for the axle flange and the keyway.

 

[DieselBob]

If you are talking seals only and not the gaskets and cork wedges that would be a little pricey. As for seals you need 6 inner seals and 4 outer seals. they run from $8 to $20 each from what I see.

I have to redo the seals in my front end and starting to shop around for the best price. I am thinking seals, boots, maby bearings, bushings. If i am going through every thing i may as well rebuild with new parts so i know it is in good condition so i wont have to tear in to it for a long time.

 

[212sparky]

Is there a napa part number list anywhere? i have searched and could not find one.

Thanks!!

Can't help on the NAPA cross reference. Have had good service from

Erik's Military and Industrial Surplus - Military Vehicle Parts, Industrial and Military Surplus Electronics

and prices are good. I installed the boots without zippers but some have had trouble with them not lasting long.

I was waiting to hear back about the shipping on this item since the auction was confusing.

Beats the prices of just about any place I can find... most places are $25 just for the two seals and shipping... the cork and gasket are either not listed, or add to the price.

I got two.

 

[pctrans]

It's the "maby bearings" that make it pricey

 

[jasonjc]

Some on here have bought up a good point about using the outer seals on the front also. If water/junk gets into a bad boot it can and will get to the brearings unless you use the outer seal.

 

[paulfarber]

I got the seals yesterday and all were NOS still in GI packaging.

Not a bad deal... $50 for all the seals for a rear axle.

I could have lived without the little religious-freak booklet telling me I'm going to ****... but at least the parts were in good shape.

 

[Countryboy21]

i would really like to know the best place to buy new boots and seals from. need to do my front asap.

 

[paulfarber]

Where did you end up getting them from? Thanks Jim

I saw a set of bearings (2) and races(2) priced at $120 at eastern supply. Seemed a bit high to me, but I am new to the market.
