Installation Notes and Tips

Verify seal dimensions, bearing size, and application position before installation. Clean the bore and mating surfaces thoroughly, and inspect the shaft or hub surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion that could affect sealing performance. For best results, install the seal squarely and avoid damaging the sealing lip during assembly. Confirm the vehicle-specific position, since this part is used in both front and rear applications depending on the model.
