SKF Wheel Seal P/N:18972
Help keep lubricant sealed in and road grime out at the front wheels with the SKF wheel seal, part number 24888. This front outer wheel seal is a direct-fit replacement for the 1969-1978 Cadillac Eldorado and the 1969-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
SKF has been designing seals since it introduced the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, and it has continued to pioneer new seal designs and bonding techniques. Each seal is made to a specific design using premium materials, chosen so the seal has the right properties for its application and operating environment.
A wheel seal stays stationary while its sealing lip rides against the rotating surface. This keeps lubricant in the bearing area and keeps contaminants out. Signs it may need replacing include lubricant seeping around the wheel, dirt or water in the bearing area, or noise from a bearing that has lost its lubricant. Follow the vehicle service information when servicing the wheel bearing and seal.
