Product Details

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, including the first integrated shaft seal. That experience shows in the way this rear seal kit is specified: the sealing surface, shaft diameter, and outside diameter are matched to the application so the seal can maintain proper contact and fluid retention. For buyers searching SKF 16725, the focus is on accurate fitment and consistent sealing performance in rear transmission service.

This part is used in rear transmission applications on vehicles such as the Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Dodge Ram 3500, along with many other listed models from 1972 through 2005. It is also listed for rear positions on several Ford Econoline, Expedition, Navigator, and Dodge Ram platform vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid leaking from the rear seal area
• Contamination entering the transmission through a worn seal
• Seal wear caused by age, heat, and shaft movement
• Loss of sealing integrity during rear output service
• Fitment issues when replacing an incorrect rear seal size

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Confirm the transmission and rear output configuration against the vehicle listing, especially on Ford and Dodge applications with notes such as 1.688" shaft, A250, FMX, Cruise-O-Matic, or specific case numbers. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly before installing the new seal to help achieve proper seating.

Use the fitment notes to confirm the exact vehicle match for rear applications on Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Dodge Ram 2500, and related models. If the transmission code or case number is listed in the notes, match that detail before ordering.
