Keep wheel-bearing lubricant where it belongs and shut out road grit with the Timken Wheel Seal 223035, a direct-fit replacement for the 1976-1994 Alfa Romeo Spider (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail). It installs in the rear position to seal the wheel hub against lubricant escape and contaminant entry.
- Precision sealing design: Timken oil and grease seals use precision sealing geometry to help prevent lubricant escape and stop harmful contaminants from entering.
- Reinforced outer case: Helps guard against installation damage and adds durability.
- Ribbed rubber inner diameter: Designed to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating.
- Contamination exclusion & vent holes: An internal contamination-exclusion system helps block debris that may lead to leakage, while vent holes let lubricant flow freely around the seal lip to cool components and remove heat build-up.
Signs this seal may need replacing include grease or oil leaking around the hub, contaminated or noisy wheel bearings, and staining behind the wheel. As a stationary seal, its lip contacts the rotating spindle to retain lubricant. Replace it whenever you service the rear wheel bearing on a listed application.
