Importance of the Knuckle Flange Grease Seal ?️
The knuckle flange grease seal is an essential component in your vehicle's steering and suspension system. It prevents dirt, water, and debris from entering the wheel hub and damaging the bearings, leading to a smooth and controlled ride. This part ensures that grease stays within the joint, reducing friction and preventing wear over time.
How the Grease Seal Works ?
This ingenious seal functions as a protective barrier around the knuckle flange. As the wheel rotates, the seal maintains a tight seal, stopping any contaminants from entering critical areas. It works tirelessly to keep the grease intact within the bearings, promoting longevity and efficient performance of the steering system.
Consequences of a Broken Grease Seal ⚠️
When compromised, the grease seal can lead to catastrophic results. You might notice grinding noises, irregular tire wear, and even steering difficulties. Left unchecked, a broken seal can lead to wheel bearing failure, necessitating costly repairs and posing safety risks on the road.
