Rear Axle Housing FLange Gasket Needed?

[rakort]

IS this rear axle gasket needed with green bearings? If so where does one obtain one?

Interesting enuff the bearings came with the "other" outer gasket so I'm thinking I should try and get one on the inner position

The OEM gaskets were think s

tamped metal gaskets.

My s60 with green bearings has 1 gasket and retainer

Metal shim behind the backing plate and the foam/gasket on the "brake" side. Use both.

ahhh....makes sense. I only remember one "gasket"..... and I do remember that shim (aka gasket)

Dr Diff says forget the inner gasket cause of the o ring on the OD of the bearing. that will keep **** out of the housing, but still allow water to the outside of the bearing which I'm not a fan of so I will get the inner gasket and use the outer/both.....just for shits.

I use the inner seal on the housing tube with the green bearing set up. Just a tad bit of insurance.
