• Service issues on Spicer 60 front axle applications
• Noise or drivability concerns related to low axle lubricant level

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the axle housing and shaft interface. Inspect the sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could shorten seal life. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Verify axle type and position, especially on Ford F-350 front outer Spicer 60 axle applications.
