🔧 Enhance Axle Performance with TIMKEN 710491 Axle Shaft Seal Review

The front suspension was completely overhauled including replacing the constant velocity joint axles so I installed these new oil seals.

Leak fixed good deal. The installation wasn't fun, but that's not because of the filling. Put a little grease on the inside so the axle won't bind when you turn it, and a little on the outside so it goes in straight. Completely dry, no leaks.

I bought these because I needed to remove the front differential to see what was causing the oil pressure drop and thought while I was at it I'd replace the gaskets. They've been on my blazer for months and I haven't had any problems with them, yes the assembly isn't the best thanks to the stem that sticks out on the passenger side, but with the help of a hammer I was able to replace both sealed in less than half an hour without any - or problems.
