Cheap Pinion Seal or Expensive Pinion Seal?
I'm gonna replace the pinion seal on my '89 XJS, 'cause I see it's leaking. I read an informative replacement thread on this site, good job, as always, guys. The expensive seal is about $70, the cheap one, listed as an alternate by a major supplier, is about $17. The expensive one seems too much, the cheap one seems too cheap. Which should I get?

Ahh ... I thought you were talking URO part or something.
If you are looking at standard seals from a bearing house, it becomes a different story. Look at the maker and look at the detailed specs.
A possible source of help is to go and look at JF member Don B's photo albums over at Jag Lovers. I think he has one for a complete diff rebuild of a similar diff.

Fastkat, I bought one for $32, when it comes in, I am going to install it at a friend's garage. I am now in the process of talking him through the job. I got him to help get the car started, replace the power steering hoses, replace 4 brake calipers, suspension parts, now this. I even got him behind the wheel, he seemed to like V12 power. He has a 396 '68 Impala, and a '70 Olds, 442, with a 455. He went from not being able to look at the car, to driving it.
