SKF Wheel Seal P/N:12545
Help keep lubricant in and dirt and water out of the front wheel bearing with this SKF wheel seal, part number 20425. It is listed for many models, among them the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota, 1974-1978 Chrysler Town & Country and 1995-1998 Dodge B2500, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A wheel seal closes off the wheel bearing area so the bearing's lubricant stays in and road contaminants stay out. SKF builds this seal with a tested design and materials for correct fit.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals are made to specific designs with premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its operating environment.
Signs a wheel seal may need replacing include grease seeping from the hub, grease on the inside of the wheel or on brake components, and a bearing that has become noisy from contamination. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and follow the vehicle service information for installation.
