Technical Details and Material Specifications

The National 1962 wheel seal is constructed from nitrile, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to oil, heat, and wear. The seal features a flanged outside diameter of 2.283 inches (58 mm) to ensure a secure fit within the wheel hub assembly. Its precise inside diameter of 1.575 inches (40 mm) matches the shaft size for a tight seal, preventing lubricant leakage and ingress of dirt or moisture. The 0.295 inch (7.5 mm) thickness provides durability without compromising flexibility. Additionally, the Redicoat treatment enhances corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the seal in demanding environments.

Compatible Vehicle Applications

This wheel seal is compatible with a range of Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo vehicles, including models such as Audi 80, 90, 100, A4, and A6; Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, Corrado, Rabbit Convertible, and Quantum; as well as Volvo 240, 740, and 4000 series. The National 1962 seal is designed to meet the specific sealing requirements of these vehicles’ driveline and axle assemblies.

Common Issues Addressed by the National 1962 Wheel Seal

  • Prevents oil leaks from wheel hubs and axle assemblies
  • Protects bearings and internal components from dirt and moisture contamination
  • Reduces risk of premature wear due to lubricant loss
  • Maintains proper lubrication for driveline efficiency
  • Helps avoid costly repairs related to seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the housing bore and shaft surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the hub without damaging the flange or sealing lip. Verify the seal orientation matches the original part, with the sealing lip facing the lubricant side. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with compatible grease or oil to facilitate installation and initial operation. Check for proper fit and alignment to avoid leaks or premature wear.
