Those seals always fall apart after awhile. They are basicly a dust/dirt seal and will keep out water some what when new. You should have no problem driving your truck.When you do go to replace it just remember to get all the other seals you will need. don`t leave it to long. "Guzzles" has a good site for the break down on that job and what seals and tools you will need. Roy
