They sell axle seals that mount inside the tubes to prevent this due to left hand turns, call Chris at Victory Circle and he will fix you right up, way cheaper than making an ocassianally high speed right turnLOL.   Chad

that is pretty common. check these out from speedway. i put one on each side and just make sure that the bearings are greased good. allows you to not run as much gear oil also since it is all staying in the pumkin area.

It slips inside the tube close to the pumpkin, old tech but really works well.         Chad

A Winters floater has the right side tube extended a couple of inches into the center section, and they claim you don't need the inner seal.

Don't know who else is doing that though

I used the higher priced Speedway seals and always had them leak. I used the cheaper ones from speedway and they do not leak...
