A wheel seal sits at the wheel end. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides against the turning surface, helping to hold lubricant inside and block contaminants. Signs this part may need replacing include fluid seepage at the wheel, wet residue around the wheel or brake components, and lubricant on the brake linings. SKF has been designing seals since it introduced the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. Each seal is made to a specific design using premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its environment.
