I don't think we had one of those on hand either Chase but good to know for future reference.
Ed, yep it all fit. I need to find a different zerc this week though. Are you able to pass along to anybody that the zerc they supply is not right?

You should make a kit with those seals and offer them without the ball joints as well. You can call it the ESOF repair kit or something similar to that. Just make the kit for 1 side and include:
F81Z-4A322-AA (yellow o-ring)
F81Z-3254-CB (knuckle seal/axle seal)
4C3Z-1K106-AA (includes 2 hub o-rings so you can use 1 for both sides)
I cant remember exactly but F81Z-1S175-HCA(dust seal) might be needed as well. It might make it easier for people with ESOF problems to order it all at once rather than try to hunt each individual part down separately. For those people doing ball joints just have an option or something to add the ball joints to that kit.
Just throwin out an idea!

This ESOF repair kit is a great idea, I would go so far as to offer the kit for one side or both, and also offer the ball joint kit for one side or both if it were me (hint hint Ed

Well a few of us AR chapter members are going to tackle ball joints on my truck and I was told to get the greasable ball joints from Autozone. Both upper and lowers were around 150.00 I forget the exact amount, but if you want to part numbers, I can provide.

ok, I got the complete kit created, with ball joints, seals, nuts, snap rings, orings everything to do both sides.
takes alot of work to create a kit like this. Oh and what a great price for OEM factory parts.
tell me what you think.
