Common Problems This Seal Addresses

• Gear oil or lubricant leakage at the wheel end

• Wear-related sealing loss from age or mileage
• Service replacement for rear axle seal maintenance
• Noise or driveline concerns associated with compromised sealing surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original seal before installation. Clean the seal bore and mating surfaces thoroughly, and inspect the axle shaft or hub surface for scoring or corrosion that can affect sealing performance. For best results, install the seal squarely and avoid damaging the nitrile sealing lip during assembly. Confirm vehicle position carefully, since fitment includes rear, rear inner, and N/A listings depending on the application.
