SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques since then. Each SKF seal is made to a specific design using premium materials, so its properties suit both the application and the environment it works in. The goal is to keep lubricants in and contaminants out.
Signs a rear wheel seal may need replacing include lubricant seeping at the rear wheel, residue on the inside of the wheel or tire, and wetted brake components. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing parts, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
