Heavy Hauler Hub Seal

You shouldn’t need a special seal for heavy haul. Any top brand correctly installed seal should not leak.

Drive axle? Steer axle?

What brands have you installed and how long did they last?

If drive axle, the first thing I would be checking is the axle vent.

 

I assume the issues are on the trailer? If you have a habit of turning hard with the trailer loaded heavy the side loading is hard on bearings and seal. Do your best to not fold it up hard. Also this will help your tires.

 

That would lead me to believe they aren’t being installed correctly.

 

He’s trying to tell you that if the seals are not lasting then they are not being installed correctly, and I agree.

No reason a correctly installed wheel seal shouldn’t at least outlive a set of brakes or longer. You need to find a new shop, or mechanic if your seals are only lasting a year or less.

 

Or perhaps the spindle is dirty or has a groove. In any case that should be found and corrected at the time of install. So either the seal isn’t installed correctly or a spindle issue or the wheel bearings aren’t adjusted correctly. There is no special heavy haul wheel seal that I know of.
