- Regular maintenance of your power steering system, including checking the fluid level and condition, can help prevent issues with the oil seal and other components. Keeping the power steering system properly lubricated and free of contaminants will help extend the life of the oil seal and ensure the smooth operation of the system.
The temperature range of the mechanism in which the seal is installed must not exceed the temperature range of the seal elastomer.




Garter springs are generally used when the lubricant is oil, as it provides the necessary downward force to maintain a tight seal. However, when grease is the lubricant, garter springs can often be eliminated. Due to its low viscosity, grease doesn’t require as much downward force to maintain an effective seal.

In general, oil seals should be selected in the order of priority indicated in Table 1.
