    Hello all, happy Presidents’ Day.
    I am putting in an order from ECGS, I am rebooting my CV axles (already have the kit) and fixing my leaking front differential.
    Only the driver side is leaking. I will be installing my lift shortly so I am going to do the driver side bushing while I am in there. The passenger side seems to be fine right now. My question is should I replace the passenger side seal as well? 150k on the truck. And does anyone know about the passenger side “tube bearing”. Is that something that is worth the 35 bucks? Will it need a separate tool? I can’t find as much information on that one.

    Currently my cart is the driver side bushing, seal and the install/removal tools.

    If nothing is wrong with the passenger side you shouldn't need to touch anything there. Just do the driver side bushing and seal.

    I’ve bolted some stuff to it *lists cool stuff here*
    Bearing on passenger side is different, different tools and can of worms to remove.. If you are going to have the cv axle out and want to replace the seal for piece of mind that’s up to you.. surely a lot cheaper than doing it again

    Same, but depending on mileage you might buy the parts now too, so you'll have them eventually.

    What about just the 20$ seal? Same removal tools. Peace of mind worth it?

    Is the passenger side bearing something that goes? I know the seals are bound to eventually.

    No. It rarely if ever fail on the passenger side.
