I got the seals to put back in the front of the cams if that's my only worry maybe it's the seals and I think I know what you're talking about the little o-ring what do you mean by you replace your whole hub

I replaced my hub, too much in/out play. Would cause a front cam seal leak when hub was activated.

See https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forum ... hp?t=92046 for some visuals and a description of the failure scenario.

The green o-ring is being sold separately, not sure what that resolves but looks like some folks replace.
