Description

Overview

The drive axle wheel seal uses the 709 standard-size configuration for heavy-duty wheel ends. Its easy-fit construction reduces installation force, while the multi-zone labyrinth helps keep dirt, grit and water away from the sealing lip.

Features

• Easy-fit design supports manual fitting or installation with standard tools.
• Rubber outer-diameter beads reduce the force needed during installation.
• Low-friction bumper forms the first barrier against contaminant ingress.
• Two rubber wipers and waterproof grease support the labyrinth sealing system.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the axle position, removed seal dimensions and old seal markings before ordering. These cross-references show where this part replaces the part numbers and applications listed. Some installations may need minor changes. 370003A, 393-0173, 3930173

Compliance and Safety

Clean the hub and spindle sealing surfaces before installation. Fit the seal evenly and avoid damage to the outer-diameter beads, bumper or sealing lip during assembly.

Trailer Applications

This 709-size seal is designed for heavy-duty drive-axle wheel ends. It should not be selected only by appearance because steer, trailer and drive-axle seals can use similar-looking profiles with different dimensions.

Cross-reference and Suitability

This part cross-references to or suits the following equivalent part numbers and compatible alternatives:

Why Choose ICS Trailers

Seal identification matters because the axle position and seal dimensions must match the wheel end. ICS Trailers can compare old seal markings, photos and measurements when the original number is difficult to read or when a different brand number is fitted.

• Drive-axle wheel-end parts can be checked together when the surrounding hub components also require attention.
• Cross-reference numbers can help narrow down a replacement when the removed seal carries a different manufacturer number.
