Changing the rear wheel inner seal for the second time on my 96 Sportage. First time the replacement seal was the same as old seal which seals around the bearing retainer. The new seal I just got yesterday is different and smaller. I don't even know if it will fit but it looks like it will sit deeper in the axle tube and seal around the axle shaft. It's the right part number according to Autozone and Oreillys. I will try to do a fitment check tomorrow. Does anybody know if there was a design change or something? When I replaced it the first time it didn't last very long.
update: One I had didn't work. Went to 4 different auto part vendors and none had the correct part. Dealer is special order item. Ended up ordering some from Ebay. Went ahead and ordered some Timken bearings too. I remember the Oreillys bearing retainer was slightly larger than oem and I think that was what tore my inner seal up.
