    Anyone get napa auto parts brand to replace rear axle seals. Just ordered mine and it's only $12 replacing my rear axle seal this weekend. Did I make a mistake by not going oem?

    Can you snap a photo of the seal? My experience is that aftermarket seals vary from junk up to as good or sometimes better (like the seals Marlins sells) than OEM. It's just too broad of a question for yes or no. I usually don't know so I'll get factory seals unless I can compare. The only recent experience I have is front seals, Timken seemed about the same as OEM and Federal didn't seem very good.
