    Q:
    What should you check before installing the new seal for the 2003 Nissan Xterra? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Before installing the new seal, inspect the surface of the damper that the oil seal rides on. If the surface is grooved from prolonged contact with the seal, consider using a press-on sleeve to renew the sealing surface. These sleeves are commonly available at most auto parts stores.
