I'm installing an ARB locker in the front of my '89 V6 Raider. While I have everything apart, I decided to replace the seals where the axle goes into the front hub (on the inboard side of the hub). The problem is that the seal the dealer lists is different than the one I removed. It is slightly to small (.030") on the O.D. It is loose in the hole in the hub.

The attached picture shows the front and back of both seals (the old seal is on the right of both views). The old seal has a metal flange or splash guard that nests with a similar flange on the axle (on the far right of the upper view you can see where I bent this flange). The new seal does not have this flange. The new seal has a part number of MB526395, which other posts here seem to agree is the correct number.

Any idea on how I get the right seal that fits?



More Information:

This old thread shows the same seal as the new one I have, and there is no comment that it doesn't fit (although one person did mention that it just pushed in with finger pressure):

For reference, the old seal has this number molded into it:
