Default Drive shaft seal $60?! am searching the wrong part??

seriously sixty bucks for a seal??? I've tried ecs, dealer, and FCP. All are around 60.

It's the front pass drive shaft flange leaking.

The driver side one is ~$20.

am I missing a better place to get this seal?

yah you're right. I guess I misunderstood the part listing. Whew, that mean's they're both 60 instead of 20.

The NAPA guy said that's one of the most expensive seal's he's seen :P

It looks like for a manual trans those flange seals are the same from left to right. For an auto the pass side seal 01V-409-399 retails at 62.00, your price 38.44 dollars. The drivers side 01L-409-399 retails for 53.76 and is 29.76 your price. Plus usps shipping of about 5-6 dollars. We have both in stock at this time. Any questions please let us know. Thank you, Jeff.
