Re: dana 44 rebuild questions

ok, left side is completly apart.. i am going to have to replace the ball joints, as theyre bad, and the little needle bearing is bad inside the spindle.. i was going to attempt to do both sides this weekend in the yard, but after getting that apart i loaded up all the parts to take to work where i have a metal bench, press, and parts washer at my disposal

i do have one more question-- is there nothing to keep dirt from getting into the axle tubes on these things?? i thought for sure there would at least be a seal at the end of the tube
