- Internal contamination exclusion system helps reduce debris intrusion that can lead to leakage

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address
- Gear oil or grease leakage at the front hub
- Contamination entering the wheel-end sealing area
- Seal wear caused by heat build-up around the lip
- Poor sealing on minor spindle surface imperfections
- Damage during seal installation on the outer case
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify axle rating, stud count, and front inner position before installation. Clean the spindle and hub sealing surfaces thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, pitting, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Proper seating is important for the ribbed inner diameter to seal correctly. Use the vehicle-specific fitment notes to confirm the correct application for Dodge B-series, D-series, Ramcharger, and Plymouth PB-series models.
