Hi TDR. I just serviced my '04 2500 with Spyntec kit installed '13 now with 85k on the kit. There was more than .005" of end play ( the suggested limit I remember correctly ). Some of the grease had gone black, but the majority was original color and coverage seemed just adequate. When I pulled the hub off I noticed black powder stuck high on the spindle and at first dismissed as dirt, but then I noticed that lip seal ( see attached photo ) looked smaller than I remember. Anybody familiar with these able to comment on whether this seal is worn as I think it is, whether this is normal and if not why ? I cleaned the bearings and both were without visible signs of wear although the inner had a bunch of play while the outer seemed like new ? Any insights appreciated as I'm not experienced with bearing wear.
