It's nice to not have oil dripping onto your tires after a run isn't it?  :D

Yes it is very nice to have a good front end. I even went ahead and put my LockRight locker in (ok had someone else do it ).
I have to give LowRangeOffRoad a big thanks for getting me parts fast and the cheapest.............................................THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Their are two kits available, a full rebuild kit or just the seals.  Normally you do both at once since they come in a two pack and your already tearing things apart.  :)

I like to low range as they have an easy to use web page, but most of the sponsors of Zukiworld.com carry the kits.  So you can give any of them a call.

the best way to go is like drone says do both sides at once since it will all be apart anyways an if you did just one side you dont want a problem soon with the otherside and have to tear it apart again. I just finished my front axle last weekend with the $145 kit from lowrange found a spare axle from a buddy rebuilt it when I had time and swapped it in when it was finally done. Now I just need to get an alignment done.
