Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the housing bore, shaft diameter, and spline count before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the pinion yoke and surrounding components for wear or scoring that could affect seal life. For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion and confirm proper seating before returning the vehicle to service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
