I'm trying to understand how the axles are made for these type housings. The axle seals look to be standard Dana 44 seals. The center section is 31 spline 9".
How are the seals seated in the 9" housing? Are the axle shafts Dana 44 blanks, and 31 splines cut for them? I have gear oil leaking past the seals and it seems like it's leaking past the outside of the seal. I haven't taken it apart, so I haven't seen how this is set up. My buddy just had the housing straightened and new seals installed, but it's leaking again. There are no grooves where the seal rides on the axle shaft.
