Regarding the grooves in the axle shafts, you can find seals that contact in a different location of the shaft. I had to buy some because one of my axle shafts had corrosion right where the seal contacted it. I was concerned that the seal would last too long against a corroded shaft surface. I don't have the seal handy or I would get the part number, but I just took the old seal, and maybe the shaft, to a bearing supply house and asked the for a seal with the same diameters and same or similar thickness, but with a seal lip that would contact the shaft in a different spot, and they were able to find one.

Just a thought...
