Easy Upgrade ~ Keep Debris Out of your Axle Tubes
It’s not all fun and games
when dirt, mud, rocks or
small mammals creep their
way into your axle tubes!
I should know as the first
time I had to take my front
axle apart to clean out the
gunk that collected over a
couple seasons. It was not
a pretty site when the gear
oil looked just like moms
chocolate pudding.
I began my research to
see if there was a way to
keep all the debris from
creeping into my front
axle tubes. The 87-06
Jeep Wrangler, 84-01 (XJ)
Cherokees, and 93-98 ZJ
Grand Cherokees Dana
30/44 axle tubes have a
design pretty much open
for things to seep into the
axle tubes and destroy
your inner axle seals.
I found that Alloy USA’s
Axle Tube Seals claimed
to keep water, mud and
debris from entering the
front axle housing. They
looked like an easy install
and I was willing to try
them out. A quick phone
call to CSE Offroad at www.
cseoffroad.com and a pair
of Part #11103 Alloy USA
Performance Axle Tube
Seals were on their way!
