This front axle oil seal retains lubricant in the steering knuckle or hub assembly and excludes dirt, water, and debris from entering the bearing cavity. It is installed at the inner end of the front axle housing, where the rotating shaft passes through the stationary housing. The seal's lip rides on the shaft surface; a worn or hardened lip allows lubricant to weep past the seal, leading to bearing starvation and eventual knuckle or hub failure. Corteco manufactures this seal to match the original housing bore and shaft contact geometry, so the interference fit and lip pressure are correct for the application. On installation, inspect the shaft surface for a wear groove; if one is present, the shaft or a wear sleeve should be replaced to give the new lip a clean sealing surface.
