Alldata says it was released in May '93, and is titled "Right Front Axle
Seal Leak" I suppose it's about time I bought a copy of this from the dealer.
They issued an update or addendum with a similar title in Aug '94.
Perhaps they changed which side has the circlip?

I'm aware of this concern, but I think the flange is of large enough diameter
that it's highly unlikely to become weaker than the splined inner shaft. It
may be exposed to more shock loads, being closer to the wheel though.

I'm looking at about every 40K miles. Heck, it's time to grease my CV joints
