What This Seal Helps Address

• Gear oil or lubricant leakage at the rear wheel end
• Contamination entering the sealed axle area
• Wear-related sealing loss from age or mileage
• Noisy or rough operation caused by compromised lubrication retention
• Service replacement needs on rear axle seal repairs

Installation Notes

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle housing and spindle dimensions. Clean the sealing surface and inspect the mating components for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Confirm rear-position fitment for the exact year, make, and model listed in the application data.
