Default Dana 44 axles

So lots of good video on swapping out the front ujoints and inner seals. Can someone please explain why I cannot find the outer seal for the axle? I have tried all the local parts stores and have actually found the picture but no way to buy.

Outer seals are basically just dust boots. They don't actually 'seal' anything. Done even bother with 'em. They trap just as much junk in the axle tubes as they keep out.

one seal sits just inside where the CAD is, and other is at the end of the axle tube

I agree with Hey You, but if you absolutely need to replace those seals, Quad 4x4 got em.
Be sure to check out any of this forums sponsors first if any.
