Wheel seals for my ¡®68 Fairlane


 

Good afternoon! One of my rear wheel seals is leaking - where do I get them from and what do I need to order? Thank you

Any auto parts store should be able to get you this

Chris, as Marty B said, any autoparts store should either have the seals in stock OR should be able to order them in for you. Usually at worst (depending on when you stop in and pay for/order it) the next day delevery to the store. This provided the parts store's warehouse has it in stock.

Your car has the 8" Ford Rearend. I don't think you will, BUT you MIGHT need to measure the bearing/axlenretaining plate bolt spacing to give them size info. I know that one MUST either know or measure this for the 9" Ford Rearend they are getting bearings and seals for.

You MAY want to order 2 of the seals so you can do the other side when it fails (this taking the assumption that BOTH seals are of the same age/mileage and a good chance the other seal is not far behind).

Additionally, document the Make/Brand and Part # of the seal, where it was bought from, when it was bought as well as when/the date you install it and the mileage.

Hello,

Good question, I bought a bunch just to have from Rock Auto because they were on
clearance just about a month ago.

Having said that, I normally just replace the bearing with a sealed unit and then you don't
need them. But I still install them even with a sealed bearing.?

There are a couple of sizes, but easily determined by year I believe. Others might have better
information. ?I don't know much...
