Stemco wheel seals

[dhirocz]

It's about that time again, this time, on the steer axle.

Curious what you guys are getting out of your wheel seals. I've used SKF, seems like a decent generic wheel seal. Don't really have an issue with them leaking if properly I stalled and the surface it rides on is properly prepared.

I just bought some new pro-torq lock nuts and see that stemco sells a few different variations of these wheel seals. What are you guys running, and what kind of life are you seeing out of them?

Also, at one time in the past, I saw some steel shim axle flange gaskets that had an impregnated rubber seal on them, which I thought would work fine here...better than just paper or rtv alone, but now cannot find them for the life of me...been awhile since I've seen them. Something from my military days perhaps?
