OK I have not had mine apart just thinking on others I have, iirc there is sometimes the outboard seal out by wheel, and inboard seal in the axle tube at the carrier that keeps the gear oil in the pumpkin
Also on front Dana/spicer with universals not swivels there is actually a odd looking dust seal to keep crap out of the axle tube

Yesterday made the booking for the VTDi turbo kit.
Will be done Friday 21st.
In a Nutshell
• 300+ Nm Torque @ 1500 rpm (80 % available from 1300 rpm to 2400 rpm)
• 60+ Kw Power @ 2200 rpm (80% available from 1500 rpm to 2900 rpm)
• Boost starts just off idle
• All mechanical operation - no electronics
• Lower fuel consumption
• Give your Tdi a new lease of life.
This sounds goooooooood !!!!!!

Dropped off the DOM tubing and frame mounts for my new trailing arms. New ones shouldn't bend. New arms will be about 34" with narrow Ballistic joints at the axle and Johnny Joints on the frame

Are you using the stock tabs for the axle mount?

Yes, stock tabs with the spacers you used. Going to go test fit and see what kind of up travel I get and address that issue if need be. I may just weld 1/4" tabs to the top of the D2 mounts to raise the shock if I need too edit: no extending the D2s. I have 3" of upgrades, mostly consumed with a bump stop. Time to make some towers!

Bought three u joints at advance auto (part number 1-0005) and taking them to a shop tomorrow to be installed. ($75 total)
Update:
well got a call from the shop and they pulled both driveshafts and took off the ujoints. Said nothing was wrong with them and they were in great shape and even greased them for me. Paid $20 just because they took them off and put them back on. Next stop is rear rotors and calipers. My Rover is pulling right on braking. I just changed the front rotors and calipers and the steering components to HD TF rods so the next step is the rear brakes.
