Abstract

An integral yoke/slinger assembly replaces a conventional two-piece design. The integral yoke/slinger arrangement provides a new and improved shaft seal particularly adapted for use in yoke and flange arrangement exposed to a heavy concentration of air entrained foreign material, whereby a more efficient and economical method for manufacturing and assembling a yoke, slinger and seal arrangement for a drive axle system is provided.
