What It Helps Fix

• Wheel-end fluid seepage at the hub or shaft
• Contamination entering the sealed area
• Noise caused by a deteriorated seal surface
• Loss of sealing integrity from age, heat, or wear
• Service issues on front, rear, or front inner seal locations

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, housing bore, and seal width before installation to confirm the National 1932 matches the service opening. Inspect the sealing surface for scoring or corrosion, and clean the bore thoroughly so the nitrile lip can seat evenly. For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the lip or flange.

Confirm vehicle-specific placement before ordering.
