An inner seal is provided for protecting a CV joint boot for a CV joint. The CV joint includes a bearing, a back sealing means and a front can. The bearing operatively connects a first shaft and a second shaft. The bearing has an inner race and an outer race and has a front and a back. The first shaft is connected to the inner race. The second shaft is connected to the outer race. The front can is connected to the outer race. The back sealing means seals against leakage of lubricant from the back of the bearing. The inner seal comprises an inner seal body having a front can sealing portion for sealing with the front can to inhibit the migration of lubricant from the bearing therebetween. The inner seal body has a shaft sealing portion for sealing with the first shaft to inhibit the migration of lubricant from the bearing therebetween. The inner seal body has a shield portion that extends between the front can sealing portion and the shaft sealing.
An inner seal for protecting a CV joint boot for a CV joint, the CV joint including a bearing, a back sealing means and a front can, wherein the bearing operatively connects a first shaft and a second shaft, the bearing has an inner race and an outer race and has a front and a back, wherein the first shaft is connected to the inner race and wherein the second shaft is connected to the outer race, and wherein the front can is connected to the outer race, the back sealing means seals against leakage of lubricant from the back of the bearing, wherein the CV joint boot seals with the front can and wherein the CV joint boot has an interior, the inner seal comprising:
A combined CV joint boot and inner seal for mounting to a CV joint, the CV joint including a bearing, a back sealing means and a front can and having a CV joint longitudinal axis, wherein the bearing operatively connects a first shaft and a second shaft, the bearing has an inner race and an outer race and has a front and a back, wherein the first shaft is connected to the inner race and wherein the second shaft is connected to the outer race, and wherein the front can is connected to the outer race, the back sealing means seals against leakage of lubricant from the back of the bearing, the combined CV joint boot and inner seal comprising:
An inner seal for protecting a CV joint boot for a CV joint, the CV joint including a bearing, a back sealing means and a front can and having a CV joint longitudinal axis, wherein the bearing operatively connects a first shaft and a second shaft, the bearing has an inner race and an outer race and has a front and a back, wherein the first shaft is connected to the inner race and wherein the second shaft is connected to the outer race, wherein the back sealing means seals against leakage of lubricant from the back of the bearing, wherein the front can is connected to the outer race, wherein the front can has an outer surface and an inner surface, and wherein the CV joint boot seals with the front can and the CV joint boot has an interior, the inner seal comprising:
A combination for use with a CV joint, wherein the CV joint includes a bearing and a back sealing means and has a CV joint longitudinal axis, wherein the bearing operatively connects a first shaft and a second shaft, wherein the bearing has an inner race and an outer race and has a front and a back, wherein the first shaft is connected to the inner race, and wherein the second shaft is connected to the outer race, wherein the back sealing means seals against leakage of lubricant from the back of the bearing, the combination comprising:
