Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions, shaft diameter, and outside diameter against the removed part before installation. Confirm the exact position listed for your vehicle, such as front outer, front inner, rear inner, or rear outer, since fitment varies by make, model, and year. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the hub components for wear or damage before installing the new seal.
