Detailed Description

SKF 17435 is a wheel seal made for front axle service on Mazda B2000, Mazda B2200, and Mazda B1800 applications. The seal uses nitrile as the sealing surface material and is manufactured to specific dimensions so it matches the intended hub and shaft interface. SKF has a long history in seal development, including early integrated shaft seal design work, and its sealing products are built to keep lubricant contained while helping block road contaminants. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3900-33-065) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Oil or grease leakage at the wheel end.
• Contamination entering the hub or axle area.
• Worn or hardened seal material.
• Seal replacement during hub or bearing service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the axle and hub dimensions before installation, including shaft diameter and outside diameter. Inspect the sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before fitting the new seal. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly so the seal seats evenly and maintains contact across the sealing lip.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to specific designs using premium materials and quality-controlled production standards. The brand has more than a century of seal development experience focused on durability, lubricant retention, and contaminant exclusion.
