New to this but I acquired a 88 Comanche Olympic Edition several months ago and in going through the front axle I have all the seals ready to go but I cannot find the O rings that go between the axle carrier bearings and the axle tube? Not really a true O ring as the ring is ribbed on 1/4 of it's circumference? I've been searching online with no luck. I attached a photo of the ring. The one in the photo is red. Mine were black.

There is an inner axle seal that is replaceable.  But there is also some sort of RTV used when the axle tube is assembled to the diff casting at the factory, and I think that is what is pictured.

Thanks for the responses. It is RTV that is applied when the axles are manufactured. Had to put a bead in when I replaced. No leaks so all good.
