This genuine Nissan hub dust seal is located on the front wheel hub assembly, creating a crucial barrier between the internal wheel bearings and the external environment. It is a precision-molded seal designed to prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants into the sensitive hub and bearing area. You may need to replace this seal if the original has become old, brittle, and cracked, or if it has been damaged during the replacement of wheel bearings or other hub maintenance.
Failure to replace a worn or damaged hub dust seal can have severe consequences. Contaminants will quickly work their way into the wheel bearing grease, causing rapid abrasion and wear. This leads to premature wheel bearing failure, which can manifest as a grinding or humming noise from the wheel, excessive play, and ultimately a complete seizure of the bearing. In a worst-case scenario, this could lead to a wheel detaching from the vehicle, posing a significant safety risk.
