Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my truck has a leaking wheel seal?▼
Look for oily residue on the inside of the wheel rim or splashed along the frame rail near an axle. You may also see oil drips under the vehicle when parked. A burning smell can indicate oil is reaching hot brake components.
Is a leaking wheel seal a safety issue?▼
Yes, seriously. Gear oil or hub oil that leaks onto brake shoes eliminates braking ability on that wheel. This is a reportable defect that can put a truck out of service during a DOT inspection. Fix it immediately.
How long does wheel seal replacement take?▼
A straightforward wheel seal replacement takes 1–2 hours per axle end. If we find worn bearings, a damaged hub, or scored spindle, the job takes longer. We always inspect the bearing condition while the hub is open.
Do you service both oil-filled and grease-filled axles?▼
Yes. Some trailer axles use oil-bath lubrication (oil level is checked through a sight glass), while others use grease-packed bearings. We service both types and use the correct lubricant specification for each.
