[QUOTE="radman, post: 225198, member: 167"] After a careful inspection of the o-ring, the only fault I could find was erosion on the edge that contacted the final drive housing. Where the o-ring for the most part was smooth and shiny, the suspect area appeared like it had been sanded with 80 grit. This appeared in several areas on the ring, and was the result, I think, of a dry install at the factory. There were no flat spots, no tears, no peels, or twists that I could find. After a quick 25 mile run into work this AM, admittedly in cold weather (40 degrees), but at my usual get to work speeds (up to 95 mph), the wheel is dry. Time will tell, as will some speed when hot, when the rear got good and hot, and the leak was at it's worst. But so far, :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
