Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the application. Inspect the sealing surface and mating components for wear, scoring, or contamination before assembly. Clean the housing thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion or premature leakage. Confirm the exact vehicle position listed in the fitment data, especially on rear and rear-right applications.
