Hello!
I’m replacing the rear wheel axle bearings in my 1990 Geo Tracker—finally started to rumble after 150k.
My question…has anyone ever come across why the bearings are supplied with only the outward seal? The original Koyo’s that I’m replacing have both inward and outward seals. The bearing that went bad actually looks like the grease oozed out from around the outward seal and started going dry. I always thought that the seals kept the grease in and kept the contamination out?
Any info is appreciated.
