What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Gear oil leakage at the rear wheel end
• Contamination entering the axle sealing area
• Seal wear that can lead to lubricant loss
• Service issues on rear axle assemblies in Nissan Frontier and Nissan Xterra models
• Rear axle sealing concerns on Suzuki Equator and Nissan TITAN applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle housing and shaft dimensions. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly, inspect the axle shaft and hub area for wear or scoring, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the vehicle-specific notes, including Dana axle, Off Road Package, manual transmission, or M226 differential requirements, before service.
