2000 Camry rear hub / carrier O ring

Hi,

I've seen the pictures but can someone explain to me the purpose of these O rings?

I didn't think there was much back there besides a sealed bearing in the hub.

Thanks,
Jay in MA

On my '92 Camry and '96 Avalon, the inner bearing didn't have a seal, so that O ring is to keep dust and moisture from getting into the inner bearing in the cartridge. I'd guess your 2000 Camry is the same.
