Wheel Bearings/ double lip or single lip seal
I recently repacked the wheel bearings on my 2016 Vibe, after a year's worth of trips. I found the original packing was fine however grease seemed to be thinner than the new high temperature grease that I packed them with. I really didn't realize that I had replaced the original dual lipped rear bearing seal with a single lip seal until after I was done. Checked the part numbers on the new bearing seals that were sold to me and they were specified as S-442251. I know I should have verified that they were exact crossovers before installing them but I did not. Anyone see an issue with single lip bearing seals?
