Thanks Josh. Nah, I didn't replace any of those when I put the locker in...
You don't really mess with 'em to install the locker and I only had like 30K on
the odo so I figured they were still fresh.
As to the locker causing the problem (in general), I dunno... I've had it in
for some 20K miles and it's been pretty tame. A few unnerving clunks now and
again but nothing too extraordinary.
So, what's it cost to replace these seals and bearing?
Tom

Had that happen to me on my old Ferd truck. One of the wheel bearings blew
up, which in turn took out the seal on the axle... You do have that locker
in there, don't suppose that could have caused any problems. Did you replace
the seals and bearings when you did the locker install?
