Dana 30 quick bearing question

[Jacob Ochs]

I am in the process of rebuilding an HP Dana 30 from a 96 XJ, I was wondering if there is a bearing on the outer axle tube (look at the attachment) or just a seal? If so what is the pert number or what could I use as search criteria to find it? Thanks so much in advance!

It's kinda a seal but not really it's just a piece of plastic on the axle shafts. But you can buy outer axle seals

No bearings in the outer housing just a usually plastic ring meant to (sort of) keep mud and sticks out of the housing . Usually those plastic rings just unclip or slide off the axel shaft. I did have one XJ with metal there instead of plastic.

 

You can get aftermarket seals to put there that are pretty good.

BTW if you have grease leaking out of the axel shafts you'll need to fix the seals in the pumpkin housing but that's another job with tons of how to videos
