Detailed Description

SKF 17327 is a rear wheel seal engineered for Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Lincoln Mark LT, and related rear axle applications. It is designed to keep gear lubricant inside the axle housing while helping block road debris, water, and other contaminants from entering the sealing area. The seal dimensions and LongLife sealing surface support proper fitment in the specified rear axle configurations, including 9.75-inch ring gear and Ford semi-floating axle applications where listed.

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, and this wheel seal reflects that experience with premium materials and application-specific construction. This part cross-references Ford 5L3Z1S177AA for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Rear axle gear oil leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the axle housing
• Seal wear from heat, road splash, and driveline use
• Noise or driveline concerns related to low lubricant level
• Service replacement needs on Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition rear axles

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle configuration, ring gear size, and tag information before installation, especially on 9.75" ring gear and V953 series applications. Inspect the axle shaft surface and seal bore for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and verify the seal seats squarely to avoid premature leakage. Use the exact rear application listed for your Ford or Lincoln vehicle, including the correct model year and axle type.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to specific designs using premium materials and controlled production standards. The 17327 wheel seal is built to support long service life and reliable sealing performance in the listed Ford and Lincoln rear axle applications.
