• Leakage at rear or rear inner hub assemblies
• Replacement needs on older import driveline applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify seal dimensions, bearing size, and hub bore before installation. Match the seal to the exact position listed for your vehicle, since this part is used in rear, rear inner, and front inner applications depending on the platform. Clean the hub and bearing surfaces thoroughly before pressing in the new seal, and inspect the bearing and spindle for wear or scoring before reassembly.
