i need help with a viberation

[Cliff8928]

Cool man, I just had to ask because I lost some new wheel bearings after a very short time do to not changing the seals.

Some bearings don't need the seals. While my originals did have the seals from the factory, my replacement ACDelco hubs (#20-26K) specifically instructed to NOT have seals installed.

Too bad I didnt check this thread earlier i knew it was a wheel bearing.\

Yeah Isaac I have NO idea what that seal ring is for, I always throw it out it dosent fit any of my hubs.

That seal fits the inside of my hub, and always has... 95+ and I've always used them when I did a new bearing.
All I can say is I've removed some bearings that did not have this seal, and the backside is caked in crap, and rusty as hell, and the one that I installed the seal on is nice and clean, and also lasted longer.

the seal is to keep dirt off the bearing to prevent wear. it might be on some years there is not one. but there is a gap between my bearing face and the seal its not much like 1/4inch but the way i packed it full of grease theres no way dirt is getting in for a long time.
