Abstract: A seal for a constant velocity joint, the seal comprising a main seal body having a central axis of rotation, the main seal body including an inner wall and an outer wall and opposing first and second sides, a raised rib extending out from the first side, the raised rib being axially deformable in such a manner as to create an axial force parallel to the axis of rotation for reducing the axial slip between a constant velocity joint a transmission output component, a flange seal portion extending out away from the outer wall, the flange seal portion having an inner contacting surface for contacting the constant velocity joint and defining a protective seal between the constant velocity joint and the transmission output component and a rigid coupling member connected to the main seal body having an inner wall portion for contacting the transmission output component whereby the rigid coupling member supports the main seal body and connects the seal to the transmission output component.

Abstract: A seal for use with a constant velocity joint and a transmission output component. The seal comprising a main seal body having a central axis of rotation, the main seal body including an inner wall and an outer wall and opposing first and second sides. The inner wall defining a connecting region having a generally cylindrical portion for connecting the seal to the transmission output component. A raised rib extending out from the first side of the seal, the raised rib being axially deformable in such a manner as to create an axial force parallel the axis of rotation for reducing the axial slip between the constant velocity joint and the transmission output component and a flange seal portion extending out away from the outer wall, the flange having an inner contacting surface adapts to contact the constant velocity joint and define a protective seal between the constant velocity joint and the transmission output component.
