Detailed Product Description

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this axle shaft seal reflects that experience with application-specific design and premium material selection. The seal is made to support the demands of driveline and axle environments by helping keep gear lubricant contained at the shaft opening while limiting the entry of dirt, water, and road debris. For owners servicing a Dodge Ram 1500 front right Spicer 44 axle or a Dodge Ram 2500 front right Spicer 44 and 60 axle, SKF 16415 provides the dimensional accuracy needed for proper sealing.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Gear oil seepage at the front axle shaft seal area
• Contamination entering the axle housing through a worn seal

• Service issues on Dodge Ram front axle assemblies with Spicer 44 or Spicer 60 notes
• Leak-related maintenance concerns on front axle service intervals

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle housing and shaft interface. Inspect the sealing surface and axle shaft for grooves, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing performance. Clean the bore and mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the new seal, and follow the vehicle service procedure for the specific Spicer axle configuration.
