Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the axle, ring gear, and position details before ordering, since SS2681 is used across multiple rear applications with different axle configurations. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original seal specification. For vehicles such as Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, and Jeep Liberty, review the notes for axle type and ring gear requirements to ensure correct selection.

Clean the seal bore and axle surface thoroughly before installation, and inspect the bearing and hub area for wear or scoring that could affect sealing performance.
