Help keep dirt, dust and moisture away from the rear wheel-end components with the Schaeffler Rear Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS6231. It is cataloged for the rear position on the 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500, the 2007-2016 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500, and the 2010-2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500. Schaeffler describes this part as a shaft seal, and it is cataloged as a wheel seal. Both names refer to the same part.
Schaeffler engineers its wheel seals from high-quality materials to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. It also works with suppliers to design seals that meet Schaeffler's own quality standards. The seal is designed to protect wheel-end components from contamination and to help keep lubricant from escaping the bearing. Wheel seal specifications are demanding, and the correct type depends on the specific application, position and vehicle class.
Signs a rear wheel seal may need replacing include lubricant seeping past the seal or residue building up around the rear wheel end. Inspect the area to confirm the source of any leak before replacing parts. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the complete application list.
