What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into bearing areas
• Moisture contamination around the hub assembly
• Wear caused by a damaged or hardened seal
• Noise or rough operation linked to compromised wheel-end sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for scoring or corrosion, since seal performance depends on a clean, smooth sealing area. Match the seal type to the original application and position, and verify fitment for the exact vehicle configuration before service. For Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla wheel seal replacement, compare the removed seal to FAG SS3406 prior to pressing the new part into place.
