What This Seal Helps Address

• Gear oil or grease leakage at the axle shaft, hub, or wheel end
• Contamination entering the bearing area from road debris, water, or dust
• Seal wear that can lead to noisy or rough-running bearings
• Fluid separation issues in axle and hub assemblies
• Service needs on Dana 60, Dana 44, and related front or rear axle setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions before installation: 2.500 in. inside diameter, 3.303 in. outside diameter, and 0.465 in. width. Confirm the axle position, brake configuration, and axle type listed for your vehicle, since this part is used in front inner, rear inner, and rear applications depending on the platform. For Ford Bronco, Ford F-150, Ford Ranger, Dodge Ramcharger, and Dodge W-series trucks, match the exact year break and axle note shown in the fitment list.

Clean the bore and sealing surface thoroughly before pressing in the new seal. Inspect the axle shaft or hub surface for grooves or wear that could affect sealing performance. Part number 417.68001 should be matched to the vehicle’s axle and brake configuration before assembly.
