Looking around my front end today, I noticed axle housing dust seal (just inboard of the u-joints) has come out of the housing, just hanging loose. Its the same on both sides. Also a loose one outboard of the u-joint. Tried pushing them back in, but no luck. Is this something I need to be concerned about? No oil present. I have manual hubs.

these really aren't needed, these fords are the only trucks i have ever seen with them. i guess they are trying to keep some of the crap from getting in the axle tube

When I had my ball joints replaced they replaced the dust seals..wouldnt you know it they are dangling out again just like before I had them done. Wouldnt worry about it too much
