hey guys, i finlly got my truck... like i phyiscly have it, and am fixing the little things on it that my dad didnt car to do...

one of the big ones i have to do, but i have to figure out what i need first... ok front axle, its the dana 60 out of the 2500 ram... passengers side leaks.. lol, there is gear oil dripping out of where the axle shaft comes out of... what could that be? is there an outter axle seal on these axles? or is it just inside the pumpkin, or what?

 

inside of the pumpkin there is a seal IIRC for the pass. side

i have 1500 with 4.10 gears up front, and i have a DS leaking seal, and i know the setup is i have to take out the CAD housing, carrier, then on the inside of my pumpkin i have the seals for each side.

 

ok, but isnt there an outer axle seal? i knwo on the D35's there is, but i was just woundering

 

On the dana 44 there is ONLY inner seals. No outer seals. All of the mud and water goes down the tubes.

Not sure if this well help Meanwhitemopar or not but oh well. http://www.pavementsucks.com/tech-article-3.html

 

it sounds like the seal between the cad housing and the axle shaft is leaking.
Probably happened when the axle shaft was pulled to do the balljoints

probably,, so how could i replace that? whats it called so i can get the right part...

 

Here's a shot looking down the tube, the green ring is the outer edge of the seal

 

I don't know what it's name is others might, i'd say it's the front axle shaft seal.
there's a parts breakdown on dodgeparts.com, but no name is given
