SKF 13810 Drive Axle Shaft Seal - Front Left

SKF 13810 Drive Axle Shaft Seal

SKF 13810 is a drive axle shaft seal built for driveline and axle sealing applications where lubricant retention and contamination control matter. With a nitrile sealing surface and precise dimensions, it is suited for service work on axle assemblies that need a reliable seal at the shaft interface.

Key Features

• Part number 13810 from SKF for driveline and axle sealing service
• Nitrile sealing surface type for dependable contact at the shaft
• 1.375 shaft diameter for the specified axle shaft interface
• 2.445 outside diameter for proper housing fitment
• 0.313 width for compact seal placement in the assembly
• Built to help keep lubricants in and road contaminants out

Detailed Description

SKF 13810 is a drive axle shaft seal engineered around exact dimensional requirements: 1.375 shaft diameter, 2.445 outside diameter, and 0.313 width. The nitrile sealing surface is selected for axle sealing duty where the seal must maintain contact under operating conditions while helping protect the driveline from fluid loss and debris intrusion. SKF has a long history in seal design, and this part reflects that focus on material selection and application-specific construction. If you are servicing a Honda Civic axle seal or a Toyota Corolla axle seal application that calls for SKF 13810, this part number should be matched carefully to the original seal dimensions and housing requirements.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 567994R91) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or lubricant seepage at the axle shaft seal area
• Contamination entering the axle housing through a worn seal
• Noise or driveline wear associated with low lubricant levels
• Seal leakage after axle or hub service
• Fitment issues when replacing a seal by exact dimensions and part number

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation. Inspect the seal bore, shaft surface, and mating area for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since damage in those areas can shorten seal life. Clean the housing thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the nitrile sealing lip. For Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla service work, verify the original seal specification against SKF 13810 before assembly.
