    Rear axle seal part number?

    Is there a modern part number that is available from bearing shops for the rear axle grease seal in the hub? The original # is A-1175. Just hoping there is a modern version available quickly. Yea, I know there doesn't seem to be anything that happens quickly on these cars. thanks roughrider
