That was my first thought.
Feel for in/out up/down movement of the yoke. Any at all will wear out a new seal in no time.
Setting pinion bearing pre-load on a seal re-do can get tricky of you don't pull the carrier and replace the crush sleeve. My short cut was to use a shim between the front bearing and crush sleeve. That gives you a little more crush on the sleeve to get the pinion nut tight and not have the yoke tighten against the bearings themselves and be over loaded.
