Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle specification. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the hub and axle components for wear, scoring, or contamination before assembly. For Ford F-250, Ford F-350, and Dodge W250/W350 front axle service, confirm the axle type and notes listed in the fitment data before ordering.
