A seal assembly that includes a case member, which is configured to be received in a seal bore in a housing, a first dynamic seal, which is configured to sealingly engage a shaft that is rotatably supported in a housing, and a second dynamic seal that is configured to sealingly engage a slinger that is coupled to the shaft for rotation therewith. The second dynamic seal has an annular seal lip and a spring member that is located on an “air side” of the annular lip seal. The spring member is configured to bias the annular lip seal in a pivoting manner about the axis and into contact with a surface on the slinger.
