What This Seal Helps Address

• Transfer case fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal area
• Grease or lubricant loss around the shaft interface
• Wear-related sealing issues on aging drivetrain components
• Replacement needs during transfer case service on Chrysler and Dodge minivans

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct match for your transfer case. Inspect the shaft surface for scoring or corrosion, and clean the sealing bore thoroughly so the nitrile lip can seat evenly. Use proper seal installation tools to avoid damaging the spring-loaded lip or auxiliary sealing edge.

The seal construction is intended to protect wheel-end and drivetrain components from contamination while helping preserve lubricant over the service life of the bearing or shaft assembly.
