Semi Truck Wheel Seal, Bearing & Hub Roadside Repair Guide
Updated: 5 days ago
A leaking wheel seal is not only an oil leak. Once lubricant leaves the hub, bearings can run hot, brake components can become contaminated and a small wheel-end problem can become a much larger roadside failure.
Signs of a wheel-end problem
Common warning signs include oil on the inside of the wheel, oil around the hub cap, abnormal wheel-end heat, looseness, noise, contaminated brake shoes or repeated seal leakage. A proper inspection should check the seal, bearings, hub, spindle condition and related brake components.
Why replacing only the seal may not be enough
A new seal can fail again if a damaged bearing, worn hub surface, excessive end play, installation problem or other wheel-end condition is left in place. The repair should address the cause of the leak, not only the visible symptom.
Truck and trailer wheel-end roadside service
Mobile service includes commercial truck and trailer wheel seals, bearings, hubs and related wheel-end repair when the repair can be performed safely on site. Brake condition should also be checked when lubricant has reached the drum or friction material.

Roadside wheel-end service is available throughout Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties, including the I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike (State Road 91) corridors and the major commercial areas around West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Stuart, Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce.
