Looking for any updated help on replacing front axle seals on a 2002 awd gmc safari. Sadly I got them both replaced as well as drivers side cv axle by a mechanic and within 500miles they're both leaking again.
Going to go with Timken seals this time as read on a helpful post from 2017 they are they best. Found one part number 710491 but looking for the other side as well.
They need to be installed dry -- I couldn't get mine to stop leaking until I drained the diff before installing them and using zero (like ZERO) grease on the edge of the seal or CV axle.
