Help keep lubricant sealed in and dirt and water out at the front wheels with this SKF wheel seal, part number 400451. SKF lists this part as a V-Ring Seal, and the catalog classifies it as a Wheel Seal, so it appears under both names. It is a direct-fit front wheel seal / V-ring seal for the listed classic Volvo applications, including the 1968-1974 Volvo 142 and the 1967-1974 Volvo 144.
SKF has designed and developed seals since it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, and it has continued to pioneer new designs and bonding techniques. Each seal is made to a specific design with premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its operating environment.
A wheel seal may need replacing if grease or lubricant is seeping from the front hub area or if the seal is found damaged during service. Diagnose the source of the leak first. If a worn wheel seal is the cause, this part replaces it.
