That seems weird I'll have to check the part number
Thanks, that would be great. I can call my local NAPA with a part number. For some reason the don't seem to be able (or willing) to cross the more expensive one to find other options.
Mine were 17144. Actually one seal is chicago rawhide and the other is skf, skf looks to be the newer package both made in usa.
I looked up lippert 5200 lb axles and the grease seals are larger. My outside diameter is similar to your inside. I still find it hard to believe that they cost 5x's as much but who knows. If napa was any pricier I would have probably used etrailer especially with all the positive reviews. The guy seemed really knowledgeable at my napa store so if your still deciding on monday ill stop by and see what they say.
