Good information there ! Did not know that and will check. As for a replacement made of rubber and NOT cork, I looked at the McMaster-Carr web page under O Rings... Don't really know the size needed at the moment BUT I see that they will custom make an O ring for you for about $9.00. Needs to be I.D of more than 4" for them to make it..
So...what do you guys think ???
The OP = Original Poster "Dogface" of this Thread,
Did say' "Seal" {Needs to be I.D of more than 4",} in a earlier
POST or as above.
So, it was the ball collar cork seal He was alluding to.
But, I have seen some
Seal Kits that use a cork seal in the torque tube
Retainer screw on ring. I prefer rubber.
I have not seen a rubber ball collar seal, only cork.
Yep, last one I did had a cork gasket in the rear. Only thing that I can imagine would tear up the front one is the ball surface being rough or warped in some way. Seems like that would be easy to see, though.
It could be a combination of both.
The ball collar is smooching the cork seal because of incorrect number of shims and a nicked up ball housing.
