[Spridgets] Axle seal failure / wheel cylinder failure

[Ron Soave]

I prefer it. It remains pliant but is meant for oil, gas, aldehydes, etc. can also take high heat. It has a Mil spec, Mil-a-46106 type 1 Group 1. Both are in the goop tote but I prefer 732. Bear in mind I change axles monthly and am constantly sealing things - lots of data points.
