    Whats a bad seal have to do with buying a new axle? You should only need a bearing and a seal at most....

    the bearing may have went bad and chewed up the axle, but that'd be a long time grinding... at least I hope that's what he's saying haha

    The axle should be fine unless you were driving on a bad bearing for a month
