WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Wheel hub oil seals are susceptible to the same kinds of damage as axle drive pinion seals if installed incorrectly. The seal bore must be clean and the lip handled carefully to avoid cutting or tearing it. Spindle journal surface must be free of nicks, gouges, and rough surface texture.
