Front axle dust seals

[belz]

Is that what I am pointing at? How important is it for me to fix this and how difficult is it to do? Help please.

The dust covers on both sides of my 05 are doing the same thing and my fathers 04 also. From what I looked up there pretty famous for doing it.

Mine are doing it also, is there any easy fix? maybe silicone them back in...

Yea, an easy fix but,,, why would anyone spend the money for a new Knuckle Seal and go to all the trouble to replace a dust seal that's just going to do it again

It does next to nothing, find something else your truck needs to work on

I can move my whole axle shaft up and down like 1/2 inch how do I fix this.

They keep the front differential fluid in, If they leak and your differential runs dry your ****ed. Then you'll have something to spend your money on i guess.

dont remember it was 3 or so years ago. I bought 35 spline inners and outers, new gear set,locker, new bearings and seals (inner and outer), and king pin rebuild kit. i know it wasnt to cheap but not to expensive. this was for a d60
