Verify the axle position, seal location, and vehicle year before installation. Inspect the pinion surface and surrounding housing for wear, scoring, or debris that could affect sealing. Clean the sealing bore thoroughly and confirm the replacement seal seats evenly to avoid premature leakage. Match the application details to the vehicle’s front axle or hub seal configuration as listed in the fitment data.
