Ok just checked out RovahFarm for prices..... Can anyone tell me why they are so much cheaper than Atlantic British? Are they a bigger outfit than AB ? I got the impression that AB was one of the biggest and should therefore have better prices based on volume. Their prices sound too good to be true....

seals,bearings,bushings,hub nut socket,swivel bolts and grease......

AB $319
RF $163

What am I missing here ???????

You're not missing anything except a good deal.

A lot of stuff is aftermarket, but it's all clearly marked as such and I have bought a ton of stuff there and never had a problem with any of it.

Plus Trevor is a righteous dude and will take the time to talk and will also try to find random stuff for you if he doesn't have it on hand.

There is also DAP, they have great prices as well - got a cat back system for $269 that still looks brand new after two years installed. Don't know if they are still around though.

As far as the seal goes, as long as you are in there make sure you remove the often overlooked vent tube and fitting from the axle housing and make sure they are free and clear of clogs and foreign matter.

Sorry. It is a hell of a lot cleaner. Actually I did not have much to say since I have not really had a chance to drive it since. I have brake issues that I can't figure out. Let's just say I can slooooowwwww down but not STOP !!!! Gotta figure that one out !
