Corteco 19033924B Wheel Hub Shaft Seal

Description

The Corteco 19033924B is a wheel hub shaft seal. This critical component prevents the leakage of lubricating fluids from the wheel hub assembly, ensuring smooth rotation and protecting vital components from contamination and wear. Commonly used in the suspension and steering systems of various vehicles, this seal maintains optimal performance and extends the life of the hub and bearings. This seal is manufactured to exacting standards, providing superior sealing performance and durability. Its dimensions are 13 x 72 x 72 mm, and it is produced in Japan.

Key Features & Benefits

This little seal’s job is pretty simple, really. It prevents grease from leaking out of your wheel hub and keeps dirt and water from getting in. It sits right where the axle shaft comes out of the hub assembly. It's basically a barrier, a sort of gasket if you will. Think of your wheel hub as the center of the wheel, where it spins. Inside that hub, you’ve got bearings that need to be lubricated with grease to keep everything turning smoothly. The shaft seal keeps that grease where it belongs, and stops nasty stuff from damaging the bearings. It’s part of the whole suspension and steering system, ensuring your wheels move as they should.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this seal fails, you’ll start losing grease. That means the bearings will quickly wear out. You'll notice if it’s really bad—you'll likely get a grinding or rumbling noise coming from the wheel, especially when you turn. It can even lead to wheel wobble or, in a worst – case scenario, bearing failure while driving, which is obviously a safety issue. Replacing it is a lot cheaper and easier than replacing a whole hub assembly or dealing with a breakdown. You can find these fairly easily, actually – a lot of folks get them from places like Fixparts Online, but any good auto parts store will carry them. They’re a small part, but they do a big job.
