For technicians servicing Cadillac Eldorado rear wheel ends or Oldsmobile Toronado rear hubs, SS2959 provides the dimensional precision needed for the seal bore and outer diameter.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the bearing area
• Moisture contamination around the hub
• Seal wear from incorrect dimensional fit
• Rear wheel-end service on Cadillac Eldorado and Oldsmobile Toronado models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct fit for the hub assembly. Inspect the bearing surfaces, hub bore, and sealing contact area for wear or damage before installing the new seal. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service procedure for proper seating and alignment. Confirm rear position fitment for 1967-1978 Cadillac Eldorado and 1966-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado applications before final assembly.
