Rear seal quality

[bones1]

Have you run into lesser quality oil seals"Chinese" for the rear axles and if so which vendor would you recommend for good ol USA made seals,like Victor, National and CR. I see large differences in prices for the same seals and some just look like junk.

I just received 2 new seals form Erick's supply ( thanks coalman) They are New Star brand, at around 9 bucks apiece. I was really hoping for some NOS replacements. But they should be better than my leaking ones. We will see how they hold up.

I wouldnt sweat it to much as most seals are NOT made in the USA. timken=singapore, CR=taiwan, etc.

could cross reference with NAPA, may get something closer to the USA.

I got my info directly off of a NAPA / CR box.........
