Mine are lubed by the diff oil. I have SUE hubs and they dont leak (yet)
Hi
Since fitting the avm hubs on the rear axle they have leaked.
I understand there are 3 seals, an axle seal, inner hub & outer hub. Are the hub bearings greased or lubricated by the diff oil?
Thanks
Bob

Thanks Brian
Looks like I need to replace the axle seal (RTC5992). Contacted dealer and they are list $508 each? Ouch. Even with new axle seals can you still expect to get any oil at the outer end of the axle?
Re the AVM hubs I pulled one down and I’m guessing the seal in there on the selector knob is just to stop dirt and water getting in and were not designed to keep oil in.
I think there is the possibility I could machine up an aluminium knob and fit a double o ring to seal it if there is going to be oil at the hub.

John Craddock have the seals for 25 gbp each so have grabbed 2 and see what they are like. will start looking at the new knobs on the weekend.
Brian, if I can get a revised knob sorted, happy to make an extra set for you to test

Appreciate if you can post up a pic when you get them Bob. Hopefully they are an improvement on the originals.

Hi all
Sorry for the delay, work was super crazy heading up to Christmas.
Seals turned up from craddocks, I think they are new old stock. Given the design, I Cant see that the felt seal can stop oil transferring up to the hub.
So off to the garage and came up with a new switch. Haven't bothered to put in the new axle seals as I want to see how the new switches perform. Only done 45 minutes but no leaks yet (touch wood)
