Schaeffler builds its wheel seals from high-quality materials selected to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. It works with its suppliers to design seals that satisfy Schaeffler's own quality standards. The 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, and the right type depends on the application, position and vehicle class. This seal is cataloged for the front position. Schaeffler describes it as a shaft seal, and the catalog lists it as a wheel seal, so you may see it under either name.
Signs a wheel seal may need replacing include grease weeping from the wheel end, grease on nearby brake components, or a torn or damaged seal lip found during bearing service. Many technicians install a new seal whenever the front wheel bearings are serviced.
