If a dealer or shop replaced the axle bearing and seal, would most likely replace the o-ring.
But, what would 'shade tree' Elmer do? He'd whiz down to
Ben Dover's auto parts store, buy the seal or bearing or both. But...unless he pulled the axle beforehand, would he be aware of the o-ring?
Probably not, and if it had disintegrated, would not be aware there was one.
If present, would he whiz back down to
Ben Dover and buy a new o-ring? Probably not, he'd put it together and pray.
btw: Are you aware that Horizon Ford in Tukwila is an FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept sponsor? Gives a parts discount off the actual MSRP
