Schaeffler Wheel Seal P/N:S48002
Help keep dirt, dust and moisture out of the rear wheel end, and keep the grease where it belongs, with the Schaeffler Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS3731. This rear wheel seal is a direct-fit replacement for the 1961-1962 Buick Electra, 1961-1962 Buick Invicta and 1961-1962 Buick LeSabre. Schaeffler's own description calls it a shaft seal, so it is listed under both names.
Schaeffler builds its wheel seals from high-quality materials to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. It works with its suppliers to design seals that meet Schaeffler's quality standards. A wheel seal is designed to shield wheel-end components from contamination and to prevent grease loss from the bearing. Wheel-seal specifications are demanding, and the type required depends on the application, position and vehicle class.
Signs a wheel seal may need replacing include grease seeping from the wheel end, grease or residue on nearby brake parts, and contamination found in the bearing during service. Diagnose the source of a leak before replacing parts. For engine details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
