This genuine Nissan knuckle spindle seal is a direct replacement part for Nissan Navara D22 4WD models. It is located on the front steering knuckle where the CV shaft passes through into the hub assembly. The primary function of this seal is to provide a robust barrier, stopping dirt, water, and mud from contaminating your wheel bearings while also preventing essential bearing grease from leaking out.
Over time and with exposure to harsh conditions, these seals can become hard, cracked, or damaged, compromising their ability to protect the hub internals. A failed seal is a direct cause of premature wheel bearing failure. Signs that your seal may have failed include grinding noises from the front hub area or visible grease leaking around the knuckle. Replacing a faulty seal is critical maintenance to prevent costly hub and bearing damage, particularly when travelling in remote areas.
Replacing this seal is a moderate workshop job that requires the disassembly of the front hub and CV axle assembly. Care must be taken during installation to seat the new seal correctly without damaging it. It is highly recommended to inspect or replace the wheel bearings when replacing this seal. You will also require fresh bearing grease for reassembly.
