Detailed Description
National 8705S is a front inner wheel seal engineered for vehicles that require a 1.734-inch shaft diameter and a 2.405-inch outer diameter. The nitrile sealing material is selected for wheel-end service where consistent contact and dimensional accuracy matter. National has supplied sealing solutions for more than 75 years, and this seal reflects that focus on fit and function for older passenger cars and light-duty applications. This part cross-references Bosch 17187 for the same application.
Fitment includes 1964-1972 Buick Skylark, front inner; 1964-1972 Chevrolet El Camino, front inner; 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, front inner; 1968-1972 Pontiac GTO, front inner; and 1969-1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, front inner. It also applies to additional front inner applications on Chevrolet Nova, Pontiac LeMans, and other listed models. If you are servicing a Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, or Buick Skylark front hub, National 8705S provides the dimensional match needed for the seal location.
Common Uses
- Oil seepage at the wheel-end seal area
- Contamination entering the hub or bearing area
- Wear-related sealing loss at the front inner position
- Service replacement during brake or hub maintenance
- Restoration work on classic Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the shaft diameter, housing bore, and seal width before installation. Clean the bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing. Verify front inner placement and confirm disc brake application where noted in the fitment data. Use the vehicle-specific dimensions rather than relying on appearance alone.
Quality Assurance
National is known for sealing products backed by long-term industry experience and ongoing design support for modern and legacy vehicles. Part number 8705S is built to the listed dimensional specifications for direct service use in confirmed applications.
