Help keep lubricant in and road grime out of the front wheel bearings with the SKF wheel seal 16069, a front inner seal for classic Studebaker and Avanti applications. It is listed for the 1956-1958 Studebaker Champion, 1956-1958 Studebaker President, 1959-1964 Studebaker Lark, 1963-1964 Studebaker Avanti, and the 1976-1985 and 1987-1988 Avanti II. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of Studebaker models and years.
SKF has been developing seals since it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, and it has continued to pioneer new designs and bonding techniques. Each SKF seal is made to a specific design, using premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its operating environment. SKF seals have been on the road for more than a hundred years, holding lubricants in and keeping contaminants out.
A wheel seal may need replacing if lubricant is seeping from the inner side of the front hub, or if grit and moisture have contaminated the bearing. Fitting a new seal whenever the front wheel bearings are serviced is common practice. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
