What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or lubricant leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the hub or axle sealing area
• Wear caused by a damaged or hardened seal lip
• Noisy or rough operation related to seal failure and lubricant loss
• Service replacement needs for Honda Civic wheel seal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the hub or axle bore. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing in the new seal. Clean the mating area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the replacement part number 22468 against the removed seal and vehicle service information before final assembly.
