oil seal gone?

[turbo-tom]

Why do they say to cut the swivel seal and some also come pre cut? Mine streched over just fine even with the kingpin bearing races in place.

The swivel hub seal is for a jimny anyway isnt it?

Also if your current retainers are ok then no need to pay for that set as felts and seals are onlt £25 per wheel at Suzuki.

im not sure why they say cut them kinda defeats the object of a seal

also my local suzuki branch and sh*t nearly took then about 7 weeks to get a seal for my rear axle!

and my felts are knackard thats why im replacing them

Wait a sec, are those jimny knuckle seals you linked too? If so then Darrell might be right, I'm not sure if they fit SJs, to be honest though the felt don't do that much, the knuckle seal's the most important bit on the knuckle, your knuckle seals look good so save yourself some money and just get some felts from suzuki, romford suzuki will post them if your local dealer is a bot crap

It does say in the workshop service manual that you are supposed to cut the seal, then fit it with the cut at the top. Mine have been like that for a while now with no leakages!!

[ScottieJ]

I always stretch it over, never had a problem like that.

[turbo-tom]

im not sure i thought they looked different , my felt is knacked so ill get new one of them

so i need
1.felts
2.that little axel sill thing

is that it ?

[ScottieJ]

it'll do

[turbo-tom]

that will stop it leaking though?

[ScottieJ]

just the oil seal on its own would stop it from leaking so yes

[turbo-tom]

right im feeling ambitious and being that i have all the time in the world as i have left school im going to do all the seals in my cv joint

cant get hold of that seller on ebay
and people want about £50 just for the seals so at the moment im thinking to buy this and bit the bullet and import it over...
