[QUOTE="Alan Peters, post: 991700, member: 58139"] My mechanic friend looked in the issue of the weekend with 4 different suppliers. All the suppliers were given him seals and CV half shafts out of a Ford Explorer, not a Ford Explorer Sport/Sport Trac. After changing suppliers the seal and CV half shaft are holding after 50 miles of driving at all speeds. I thought the CV shaft was smaller than the original. Even the second shaft was smaller too. The last shaft installed is beefy. Im not sure on the part numbers but I can ask if you like. The NAPA and National brand seals did not fit correctly after 3 installs and they still leaked and weaped. Cross referencing the numbers were not a match. They did go with a Motorcraft seal matched with the VIN, and no leaks so far I hope this helps. After 2 weeks of fustrations, I have a good feeling its fixed for now. [/QUOTE]
