Detailed Description

It is also listed for Hyundai Sonata, Plymouth Laser, Dodge Colt, Mitsubishi Galant, and Subaru Standard applications where the axle seal location matches the vehicle’s original service requirement. The Centric Premium Axle Shaft, Hub & Wheel Seals product line focuses on retaining lubricant at the bearing surface while helping block contamination that can shorten seal and bearing life.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or grease seepage at the axle shaft seal area
• Contamination entering the hub or bearing sealing surface
• Noise or wear related to lubricant loss at the axle end
• Service replacement for worn rear inner or front outer seals
• Seal deterioration from age, heat, and road exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions, axle position, and vehicle build date before installation. Confirm whether your application uses rear inner, front outer, or front inner placement, since the listed fitment includes all three positions across different vehicles. Inspect the axle shaft, hub bore, and sealing surface for scoring or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For fitment examples, this part fits 1988-2002 Isuzu Trooper, rear inner; 1999-2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS, rear inner; 1996-1999 Acura SLX, rear inner; and 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front outer.
