Detailed Description

SKF 19208 is a drive axle shaft seal designed for front right use on 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 with vacuum disconnect axle setups, as well as 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with Spicer 44 and 60 axles and 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 3500 with Spicer 60 axles using 4,500 and 4,850 lb axle ratings. SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this part reflects that focus with a design matched to the axle opening, shaft size, and service environment. The result is a seal intended to retain lubricant at the axle shaft while helping exclude contaminants that can accelerate wear.

This part cross-references Continental 49485 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil seepage at the front right axle shaft
• Contamination entering the axle housing through a worn seal
• Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
• Leak-related lubricant loss that can affect axle service life
• Noise or driveline concerns associated with low axle lubricant levels

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle configuration before installation, since this seal is listed for specific vacuum disconnect and Spicer axle applications. Inspect the axle shaft surface and seal bore for scoring, corrosion, or debris before pressing in the new seal. Clean the housing thoroughly and verify the shaft diameter and seal dimensions match the service opening. For best results, replace the seal only after identifying the source of the leak and checking related axle components for wear.

Quality Assurance

SKF designs and manufactures seals to high quality standards, using application-specific materials and bonding methods developed from decades of seal engineering. Part number 19208 is built to support long service life in driveline sealing applications.
