Technical Description and Material Details

The Elring 016.620 wheel hub gasket is constructed from FPM (fluoride rubber), a material known for its resistance to oils, fuels, and high temperatures commonly encountered in automotive driveline applications. The gasket’s dimensions—60.0 mm inside diameter, 73 mm outer diameter, and 11.0 mm thickness—are designed to meet the precise requirements of wheel hub assemblies on compatible vehicles. The integrated dust cover with a dust lip helps prevent ingress of dirt and moisture, extending the lifespan of the hub components. The radial shaft seal design (A/bs) and swirl type (Wd) contribute to maintaining a secure seal under rotational and axial loads.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This wheel hub gasket is compatible with various Dodge and Mercedes-Benz models, specifically the Dodge G55 AMG and Mercedes-Benz G500, as well as Sprinter, Sprinter 2500, and Sprinter 3500 vans. It is intended for use in driveline and axle assemblies where a reliable seal is critical to prevent lubricant leakage and contamination.

• Prevents oil and grease leakage in wheel hub assemblies
• Protects against dust and moisture ingress with dust lip design
• Reduces wear on axle components by maintaining proper sealing
• Helps avoid premature bearing failure due to contamination
• Maintains driveline efficiency by ensuring proper lubrication retention

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Elring 016.620 wheel hub gasket, ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Proper alignment of the gasket is essential to avoid leaks and premature wear. Use appropriate tools to press the gasket evenly into place without damaging the dust lip. Verify compatibility with the vehicle’s OEM specifications before installation, especially for Dodge G55 AMG, Mercedes-Benz G500, and Sprinter models.
