Schaeffler Wheel Seal P/N:S27438
Help keep grease in and road grime out of the front wheel end with the Schaeffler Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS2730. It is a front wheel seal replacement for the 1960-1963 Checker Superba and the 1961-1969 Checker Marathon. Schaeffler lists it as a shaft seal and it is cataloged as a wheel seal, so you will find it under both names.
Schaeffler engineers its wheel seals with high-quality materials to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. The company works with its suppliers to design seals that satisfy Schaeffler's own quality standards. This seal is designed to shield wheel end components from dirt, dust, and moisture and to help prevent grease loss from the bearing.
Wheel seal specifications are demanding. The correct seal depends on the application, position, and vehicle class, and this one is cataloged for the front position on the listed Checker models. Signs a wheel seal may need replacing include grease seeping past the seal, grease on the inside of the wheel, and dirt or moisture in the bearing grease. The seal comes out when the bearing is serviced, so it is common practice to fit a new one whenever the wheel bearings are repacked or replaced.
Fitment: 1960-1963 Checker Superba; 1961-1969 Checker Marathon. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
