Tearing the front end apart this weekend to tackle upper/lower ball joints and front ujoints, just curious if yall think I should replace the axle seals. I'm a big fan of not fixing it unless it's broke. But if I have the front end apart, why not. Opinions? She has 130k miles, don't know when these usually fail.

 

The seals will require taking the differential apart IIRC. Just be careful when reinstalling the shafts back into the differential so as not to damaged the seals.

 

Those seals should last for years. If they aren't leaking I'd leave em alone. As long as you take your time and carefully re-install the shafts without knicking or hitting the seal it should be fine. I've had mine in/out about 5 times and they're still fine. To R&R them the diff. does have to come out.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll just leave them alone for now and be carefull with them.
