Product Details

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, including early integrated shaft seal development and continued refinement of bonding and material selection. This seal is made to specific design requirements using premium materials so it can maintain the correct sealing properties for the operating environment. In front differential service, that means helping keep gear oil inside the assembly while limiting the entry of dirt, moisture, and road debris. This SKF 17382 seal is a direct-fit style option for BMW X1, X3, X4, X5, and X6 front differential applications listed below.

This part cross-references BMW 31521428678 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the housing and pinion interface.

Clean the sealing area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion at the lip.
