A wheel hub oil seal, also known as a bearing seal, is a critical sealing device located between the wheel hub and the brake drum or disc. Its primary function is to prevent the ingress of dirt, water, and other contaminants into the wheel bearing while retaining the lubricating oil inside. This dual-purpose operation is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and preventing premature wear and tear. Proper installation and maintenance of shaft oil seals are essential to ensure their effectiveness.

If any issues are detected, the seal should be replaced immediately to prevent leaks and damage to the system.
