Front wheel bearing seal?

Front wheel bearing seal?
Yes, the wheel bearing seal is basically a plastic top that goes over the hole that the bearing goes into, the parts store probably doesnt carry it and that $40 is the price of the bearing... You have to get the seal from the dealer if it didn't come with the bearing (which it should have).
when changing the wheel bearing, you should always change the seals as well... they are important to ensure you get a good seal once you put everything back together... try napa or if your car is in a shop, they should be able to get them for you
