rear end bearings...

I put a ford 9" in my camaro...and put small chevy ends from mark williams on it....
well I bought axles and bearings w/the retainers (c-clip eliminator style)
should there be some sort of seal on the outside of the bearings?
I dealt with Moser and MW and neither mentioned anything about seals?

Depends on the bearing design. Some of the ford bearings are a sealed design and have a seal on the inside so the diff oil doesn't get to the bearing. If this is how your setup is, then you don't need an outer seal.
