What This Seal Helps Address

• Front hub sealing issues on INFINITI QX4 and Nissan Xterra models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions and shaft size before installation, and inspect the mating surfaces for wear, scoring, or corrosion. Clean the hub and axle area thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat correctly. For best results, replace a worn seal when servicing the hub or axle assembly and verify the seal is installed squarely to avoid premature leakage.
