SKF Wheel Seal P/N:18972
Keep lubricant in and road dirt out at the rear outer wheel position with the SKF wheel seal 18704. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1954-1955 Buick Century, 1950-1955 Buick Roadmaster and 1950-1955 Buick Special; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
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.
