Seal in question : 9864S
Some years ago, I bought several 9864S Chicago-Rawhide seals at a going-out-of-business sale at a price that no smart man would refuse.
I have several Dana 70 trucks around here and it just makes me feel better to have some on hand for various "I wish I had a new seal" situations.
That being said, how do these seals compare with Timken for quality and longevity ?
I have a hub seal that is leaking, but it will be several days before I have opportunity to replace it; in other words, plenty of time to order in a Timken seal; seven bucks to my door.
My question is: Would you feel safe in using one of the Chicago-Rawhide seals that are already here --- bought and paid for ---; or, would you order a Timken instead ?
Thanks for reading.
