I had thought about that, but the flanges are the OEM and the outer groove matches the OEM axle.you have short drive flanges and am using the outer groove maybe.

OEM flanges. Outer groove matches the groove on the OEM axle.you have short drive flanges and am using the outer groove maybe.
Thanks. Didn’t know that. Regardless, used the outer groove that I used on the newer axle matches the length of the oem axle.there are 2 styles of OEM flanges. Short and tall.
This makes sense with the ware marks on the axle !It's about the drive flanges. If you have a short style flange then the outer groove might allow the axle to travel further into the housing.
Interesting. I’m in the driveway otherwise I’d look it up. You don’t happen to know the depth of the shorter flanges, do you?It's about the drive flanges. If you have a short style flange then the outer groove might allow the axle to travel further into the housing.
Yep.Are both the flanges the same ?
This thread shows photos of the early and late flanges with some explanation.Thanks. Didn’t know that. Regardless, used the outer groove that I used on the newer axle matches the length of the oem axle.
Just inspected the newer axle a little further. The shaft is loose at the star and seems like it can go in another 1/8”
You are using marlins, or you stopped using them due to leaking?I checked all the different things like cleaning breather tube to the marlin seals.
I tried both Toyota and Marlins. Both the seals looked fine when inspected. I think they both serve their purpose and work fine. I believe there is another issue at hand not related to the seals.You are using marlins, or you stopped using them due to leaking?
run it, some map gas for about 5 min before install makes it easy.....I’m curious to know as well. I’m in the same boat my left knuckle keeps leaking. Going on third rebuild in last 2 years. The right side has been done with no issues. For this next one, I ordered up some axles from RCV and spindle with new bushing to see if that helps. I cleaned out the breather as well so no issues there. Took off an ABS tone ring today. Some of the edges got deformed when I knocked it if of with the brass drift. Nothing crazy but would this cause any issues for the ABS.
