Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original seal before installation. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring that could affect seal life. Confirm the vehicle’s exact front axle configuration, especially on Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty models with notes such as 8 mounting holes, twin I-beam axle, or production-date limits.

For best results, install the seal squarely and avoid damaging the nitrile sealing lip during assembly. Always match the application to the listed front position and model-year notes.
