Genuine Spicer light vehicle axle products are OE parts, built to the same high standards as the original equipment they replace. Dana keeps advancing the technology behind its axles and Spicer products, so the replacement component you buy today may even surpass the standard set for the original part.
Installed at the front outer axle spindle, this seal is designed to hold lubricant inside the wheel-end assembly and keep water, dirt and debris from getting in. Signs it may need replacing include lubricant seeping around the front spindle or wheel end, or contamination found in the lubricant during service. If a worn spindle seal is the source of the leak, replacing it with Spicer 48816 addresses it. For complete application details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
