The left front u-joint is pretty much shot as it's making the angry sparrows noise. Also picked up a pair of Lube Locker gaskets for the front and rear since I'm in the area, might as well. Little by little I'll get there.
You sure it's the left front u-joint, and not the front drive shaft? Notorious for the angry sparrows...View attachment 92339

The axle tube seals are a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist while creating a few very undesirable consequences. I do a lot of brake kit installs. As such, I get to remove a lot of axle shafts. Owners show up with axle tube seals all the time. I explain why they are bad with the worst trait being that you can no longer tell if you have a failed inner axle seal and the diff is pumping out into the tube when it is really needed in the diff. At least half the time when we pull the long side, the owner gets to see all the oil run out that would have been far better off staying in the diff.
We pull lots of axle tube seals so the owners can sell them to the next sucker.
