Should I be fitting inner and outer hub seals?


Recommended Posts

Ok guys, I'm finally losing it here ? Should I be fitting inner and outer hub seals? 

I've just scrolled through the forum and many other pages on tinternet. Some say inner and outer, some say inner only and spacer with locking nuts on outer.......

All hubs have an inner (inboard) seal, which runs on the step of the stub axle.

Some vehicles, though not many, also have an outer seal which runs on a special spacer which sits between the hub nut and the outer bearing race. You'll know if you have them as you'll have this ~1/2" thick spacer jobby in place rather than the usual ~1/8" thick thrust washer.
