What causes premature hydraulic seal failure?

 Premature hydraulic seal failure is most often caused by fluid contamination, excessive heat, improper installation, pressure spikes, misalignment or side loading, incompatible or degraded fluid, and incorrect seal selection. A seal that fails long before its expected service life is rarely the real problem. It is usually the first component to reveal a condition elsewhere in the system, so replacing it without finding the root cause almost guarantees a repeat failure. Hydraulic seals are small, inexpensive parts that hold back enormous pressure. When one fails, the consequences are out of proportion to its cost:
