Detailed Description

Common Problems This Seal Addresses

• Gear oil leakage at the rear wheel end
• Contamination entering the axle housing
• Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
• Loss of lubricant retention at the hub or axle interface
• Noisy or rough operation caused by degraded sealing surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle configuration before ordering, since this seal does not apply to full-floating axle Land Cruiser models. Inspect the shaft and sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear before installation, and verify the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original part. Clean the bore and sealing area thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly and maintains proper contact.
