The wheel seal is a cap that is pressed into place over the wheel bearing to provide protection and lubrication. The axle shaft fits through the wheel bearing and the wheel seal fits tightly around the axle to create the space where the grease is contained.
Wheel Seal Problems
Dirt and debris can be harmful to your truck’s wheel bearings, especially if they get ground into the bearings while you’re traveling at a high speed. Bearings also need to be surrounded by lubrication while they’re in motion. If the dirt and debris get into the grease around the bearings, they will grind into the bearings and shorten their lifespan. Wheel seals keep the grease in and the dirt out. Wheel seals have a rubber lip that becomes weathered and cracked over time, causing grease to leak out. Without this lubricant around them, the wheel bearings can become prematurely worn.

Would not recommend. Mark the mechanic is rude and very unprofessional . They do not like people asking questions on prices. I asked him to breakdown the price so i could pass along the information and was hung up on and told to not call back. Customers have the right to know what they are paying for. The dispatcher is very nice and professional.Would not recommend. Mark the mechanic is rude and very unprofessional . They do not like people asking questions on prices.

They plugged into my truck to diagnose it and came up with it needed a clutch fan solenoid. Part was changed out and was a waste of $300. I can’t be wasting time and money on the guessing games.I was NEVER informed about a possible fan clutch. He only told me the solenoid and I still have the paperwork that it was printed on. I would’ve changed the both of them cause I don’t have time to play around.They plugged into my truck to diagnose it and came up with it needed a clutch fan solenoid.
