  • Cold drawn steel wire garter spring: The garter spring is formed from cold drawn steel wire for superior fluid retention.
  • Dirt and water protection: Built to provide superior protection against dirt and water.
  • Rigid metal case: The body is deep drawn from sheet steel, creating a rigid, stress-resistant metal case.
  • Correct fit: Produced with a tested design and high-quality materials for a correct fit.

SKF has been a leader in seal design and development since it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. It has continued to pioneer new designs and bonding techniques since then. Each seal is made to a specific design, using premium materials chosen for its application and environment. SKF seals have spent more than a hundred years on the road keeping lubricants in and contaminants out.

Lubricant seeping around the hub or onto nearby brake parts is a sign the wheel seal may need replacing. Diagnose the source of the leak before you replace the seal.
