Detailed Description

SKF 17113 is engineered as a wheel seal for rear axle service where lubricant retention and contamination control are critical. SKF has a long history in seal design, and this part reflects that focus with application-specific dimensions and materials selected for the sealing environment. It is a direct-fit style seal for vehicles such as the Suzuki Sidekick rear outer, Suzuki X-90 rear, Geo Tracker rear outer, Pontiac Sunrunner rear outer, and Chevrolet Tracker rear outer. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Gear oil or lubricant seepage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the axle seal area
• Wear-related sealing loss on rear outer axle locations
• Noisy or rough operation caused by compromised sealing surfaces
• Service replacement for aging rear axle seals on Suzuki Sidekick and Geo Tracker platforms

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the axle housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding components for scoring, corrosion, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before service.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to specific designs using premium materials and controlled production standards. The brand’s seal engineering heritage dates back to the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, and SKF wheel seals are built to support long service life and dependable sealing performance in the specified application.
