Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, and this part reflects that focus with premium materials and application-specific dimensions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

The part number 16295 is also useful when verifying replacement seals during transmission repair or rebuild work.

What It Helps Fix

• Transmission fluid leaking from the output shaft area
• Contamination entering the transmission through a worn seal
• Fluid loss that can contribute to shifting concerns
• Seal wear found during transmission service or rebuild
• Replacement needs on left-side output shaft seal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and left-side application before ordering. Match the seal dimensions to the original part during installation, and inspect the shaft surface and sealing bore for wear, scoring, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat correctly.
