Receive greetings from sunny Europe!
I would like to replace the sealing rings in the rear axle in front of the wheel bearing and in the front axle in the wheel hubs as well.
Here in Europe it is quite a problem to get an adequate replacement.
I am attaching a photo of which three pieces of seals I am talking about.
If someone from Europe hears from me who changed this with metric dimensions of the parts, I will be happy.
But of course I welcome any advice from the members of this great site!
Have a great summer everyone!

These original US Made seals are cloned by the Chinese on a regular basis. Probably 1/3rd of these seals that are stocked in the US came from China. You should canvas your European suppliers and find who are dealing with Chinese sources. Also Indian & Japanese sources as well. India & Japan have built US Jeeps since the 60's under license.

Also during your on line searches by part number use as many numbers for that seal as you can find listings for. Example: National seal 13710 also goes by the following numbers; Ordnance # 7374988, Willys # 640959, and Federal Stock # 2530-737-4988.
