YJ Axle Shaft upgrade

[jbishop]

I tried to do the shaft upgrade but was unable to get the passenger side axle seal in the tube (inside the diff).

I was using the same seal as the drivers side and have found conflicting information just about everywhere.

Can someone throw up a part number that I could buy at autozone or advanced for this seal?

I have many part numbers but none of them are something I can walk into a store and buy.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

J

J,

You want to get your hands on a NAPA 11800 seal.
It's the one you need to go in the passengers side of the diff.

(It's different than the one used on the drivers side.)

Awesome thank you for the info.

They never had 2 seals in the YJ diff. The long side shaft seal was ou board of the vac disco housing. Most housings are not machined for a long side shaft seal at the carrier. That being said I have seen some hp xj housings and a few YJ housings that did have the machines surface, so it is good to chack before you do a one piece shaft in a vac dico housing.
