What It Helps Address

  • Rear differential pinion seal leakage
  • Gear oil seepage around the pinion area
  • Contamination entering the differential housing
  • Noise or wear concerns related to low lubricant level
  • Seal replacement during rear axle service on Nissan Frontier, Xterra, 350Z, and INFINITI models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle type and seal dimensions before installation, especially on Nissan Frontier and Xterra models with C200K Rear Axle or H190B Axle notes. Inspect the pinion yoke and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before fitting SKF 17686. Clean the housing thoroughly and confirm the seal seats squarely to help prevent repeat leakage.

Quality Assurance

SKF has a long history in seal engineering and manufactures seals to specific designs using premium materials for the application and operating environment. The brand’s sealing technology has been developed over many decades to support lubricant retention and contamination control in automotive driveline service.
