    Those are more for up by the 3rd member. Require the axle shaft to have a machined seal surface. I had the option to do them when I did my front but forgot to measure the seal surface for the shafts so just regular marlin ones.

    Okay that makes more sense, I sent Ruffstuff an email about them and the reply was pretty vague. Wasn't sure if this could be pressed in anywhere in the axle tube. Was thinking it'd be nice to have another seal but more to help align the axle shaft when putting them in the rear FF.

    Getting the driver rear ff shaft in is a huge pain in the ass... I have to pull the hub and brakes to get it to line up.. I couldn’t use them in the rear as the bearings/races are lubricated by the gear oil.
