I was looking at my front end (2004) and noticed that both of the outer seal/dust seal for each axle is popped out and has been for a while, from what I can tell. I have several friends (5)..the same truck and ALL of theirs are out as well. Obviously this isn't normal (could be wrong) but I am wondering what the h*ll?

Is this a problematic issue with these DANA 60's?

Am I in for trouble down the road if I dont fix them ASAP?

Is their an updated seal kit?

I would have posted in the correct forum but I respect the opinion from the heavy hitters on this forum!

Thanks for the help.

Mine are out as well.

 

Any ideas?

 

heheh so are mine. man I need to fix that.its not right but still normal to seem them that way.
if you drive in pretty clean areas you really dont have much to worry about. there just dust seals.
yes there is a much better updated part.

 

Thanks cheezit.....I drive mostly city streets with occasional offroading, nothing too crazy. To be honest with you I do not know how long they've been like that.

Any chance you know of updated part numbers for those?

Thanks
Joe

 

im not a front end guy sorry.

 

Mine have been like that for 70k+

 

lmfao.
there ya have it folks.

 

Wish I would have known just changed mine 3K ago had no idea about the updated part
and what I put back looked about the same as what I took off

I did grease it there but Im shure they will Fail again

It didnt look like to much water had gotten in the axel tube even though it had been broke for awhile

 

Mine are out as well...

 

Had mine replaced about a year ago (under warranty). My invoice states that they replaced the Excluder Seals and Hub O-rings.

The P/N listed are:
FMC-AC3Z-1S175A (Seals)
FMC-5C3Z-4A322AA (o-rings)

FP-AC3Z1S175A (??)

I don't know which number is for the Seal or which is for the O-ring for sure. I think the first one listed is probably the Seal because it was listed at $21ea, and the other was at $9ea. I don't know what the last number is, maybe a kit? IDK. Maybe someone can chime in and decipher the numbers.

BTW, the new seals look to be much better than factory.

 

Thanks tonefordays for the numbers!




Well it looks like that is one of those projects that will go on the "back" of the backburner

Thanks alot guys
Joe

 

i have had my truck for about a year an a half an mine have been out the whole time. i have been meaning to fix it , just been to lazy to do it. seeing how its cold weather now , it will have to wait til spring now before it gets fixed.

 

Hi Guys,

I never thought to look over here, I was linked to your post.

Is this the same problem? See my pics here.

2005 F350 4x4 Dust Seal issue

It sure sounds like the same problem. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is suppose to hold the outer seal in place. Is something missing?

Thanks for any help
