    If it’s a GS or Sportwagon you’ll need RW507G and a retainer. I think either Monzas or Brian Trick have them; if not CARS does.

    Didn't realize that there are inner seals too (part #8594S)? Where are those seals located?
    Thank you

    The inner seal is very common. Yes,the correct number is 8594S. The are pressed into the end of the axle tubes.

    IF it is NOT a GS it will be regular RW507CR.
