Help keep dirt, dust, and moisture away from your front wheel bearings with the Schaeffler Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS3018. This front wheel seal is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1975-2004 Ford F-150, 1973-1985 Ford F-250, and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition.
Schaeffler lists SS3018 as both a wheel seal and a shaft seal. Its job is to shield wheel end components from contamination and help hold grease in the bearing. Schaeffler notes that wheel seal specifications are demanding, and the correct seal depends on the specific application, position, and vehicle class.

Signs this part may need replacing: grease seeping from around the wheel hub, a visibly damaged seal lip, or dirt and moisture found in the bearing grease during service. Diagnose the cause first. If the seal has failed, this part replaces it and helps protect the bearing from contamination.
