Is the metal dust shield on the stub shaft needed? Mine look like swiss cheese.

Yes. They are needed and can be replaced for very low cost.

Sounds good! I found some online for cheap.

When trying to find more about them I came across this:

Will that superduty seal work on a chevy axle?

They work but they barely last on their intended ford application. Waste of expense imo.

Thank you! I will order some stock style ones.
