Detailed Description
SKF 17359 is engineered around the seal dimensions that matter most in wheel-end service: width, outside diameter, shaft diameter, and sealing material. The nitrile sealing surface is selected for sealing performance in the operating environment, helping maintain lubricant inside the assembly while keeping road contaminants out. SKF has a long history in seal design, and this wheel seal reflects that focus on precise construction and application-specific materials. This part number 17359 is a practical choice when servicing wheel-end sealing on vehicles such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado applications that require the correct wheel seal dimensions.

What It Helps Address
- Gear oil or grease leakage at the wheel end
- Contamination entering the hub or axle seal area
- Seal wear from age, heat, or road exposure
- Noisy or poorly protected wheel-end components caused by seal failure
- Replacement needs during axle, hub, or bearing service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm SKF 17359 matches the application. Inspect the sealing surface and mating components for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the nitrile sealing lip. For vehicle-specific service, confirm the correct wheel-end application on Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado models before assembly.
Quality Assurance
SKF designs and manufactures seals to specific application requirements using premium materials and controlled production standards. The brand’s seal engineering heritage supports long service life and dependable sealing performance in wheel-end applications.
