What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Wheel-end lubricant leakage at the front outer hub
• Contamination entering the sealed bearing or hub area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
• Noise or roughness caused by compromised wheel-end sealing
• Service replacement needs on select front outer driveline applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions and position before installation, especially on front outer wheel-end service. Inspect the shaft, hub, and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat correctly and maintain consistent contact.

For fitment-focused searches, SKF 20463 is used on 1989-1994 Hyundai Sonata front outer, 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse front outer, 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser front outer, 1985-1993 Mitsubishi Galant front outer, 1985-1991 Dodge Colt front outer, and 1989-1990 Mitsubishi Sigma front outer.
