Mike:
I have not had a problem with any of the modern seals offered by the big three, but I almost always (95%) install a Speedi-Sleeve on the flange. This goes not only on diffs but also tranny outputs, front pulleys, and even some rear crank sealing surfaces. Even the newest of these items are now over thirty years old the grooves cut into them from previous seals are getting too big to ignore. 
I just finished a Mayflower diff that would have leaked just as bad as before if I hadn't insisted to the customer that it needed a sleeve. They gasp at the added expense ($45) but I wouldn't warranty it without the sleeve.

Is there a source out there to find a better quality seal for driveshaft
flange? Mine are leaking in my street and race car and have not been in that
long.


Thanks
