    Went out today and notice oil on the right rear. 90 weight, not brake fluid.. so we pulled the axle. The bearing looks ok... I think I should probably change the bearing anyway... Just because It is alreadhy out and I see that is a sealed bearing and I don't know how long they sat before I got the car.
    What do you guys think? Phil

    Thats what I though but all napa had was the seal so I guess I'll have them order for both side and do them at the same time... seen too many fords spit the axles out anyhow.
    But thanks for the quitck response. Phil
