Hi Chirpy,

yes, they have a seal that keeps the grease inside the swivel hub, that wipes across the rounded surface you can see at the end of the diff tube.

They also have seals that sit under each swivel hub bearing. Some people leave these out.

Finally, there are other seals further away from the swivel hub such as the one inside the diff tube that keeps diff oil in the diff, hopefully :-)

If you search you will find an excellent thread, with photos, that I think Ynot posted 18 months or so ago - try searching on replacing swivel hubs - there are quite a few threads around in addition to Ynot's.
