Re: Updated seal for rear diff leaks. I've got a 4.10 rear end sitting in the garage waiting for a clutch to go with it. I bought it used and it doesnt look like it was leaking before.
Think I should throw these new seals on it just in case?

Re: Updated seal for rear diff leaks. I had 4.10 in my 94 TA M6 and liked them a lot. It made 6th gear more usable. In my C5 they will be slightly less agressive since I'm using a 1" taller tire than I had in that car.
