Front Dana 44 axle seal
Does anyone have a part # on the the seal for the Evolution axle shaft on a front 44? Superior gave me a number of DS43116 (Spicer) but no one here seems to be able to cross it. After hearing both yes and no, are they using a different seal from the older 44's?

I'm gonna bump this just in time for all you parts guys to get to work. Since Superior says the seals that comes with their Evolution axles is the same as stock, I'm wondering if those seals are the same as in the pre-JK Dana 44 Rubi's? My real concern is availability. The passenger side is hemorrhaging and I'm wondering about wait time on getting the seal before I take it in.

He gave up on the Superiors I don't think he wanted to live with a "fix". I'm almost 100% certain thet the axles are now shipping with the inner axle seal. BUt I have not seen it so don't take my word for it. If you're going to do one, might as well do them both, only takes a few minutes more.
