SKF 19689 Drive Axle Shaft Seal

Drive Axle Shaft Seal Overview

SKF drive axle shaft seal 19689 is built for specific Nissan and INFINITI front axle applications. It uses a nitrile sealing surface and precise dimensions to help maintain a proper seal where the axle shaft passes through the housing.

Key Features

• Nitrile sealing surface for reliable fluid sealing performance.
• Precision dimensions: 0.570 in. width, 2.840 in. outside diameter, and 1.969 in. shaft diameter.
• Engineered for front axle sealing applications in driveline and axle systems.
• SKF seal design backed by long-standing sealing development experience.

Detailed Description

SKF 19689 is a drive axle shaft seal designed for front axle service on select Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, Pickup, and D21 models, as well as the INFINITI QX4. Fitment includes applications such as Fits 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, Front Left Outer; Fits 1994-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, Front Left Outer; Fits 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, Front Right Inner; and Fits 1997-2003 INFINITI QX4, Front Right. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 40227-31G00, 145819689) for the same application.

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, including early integrated shaft seal development and continued refinement of bonding methods and material selection. Part number 19689 is manufactured to application-specific requirements so the seal matches the operating environment and helps keep lubricant contained while limiting contamination at the axle interface.

What It Is Used For

• Stopping gear oil or axle lubricant seepage at the shaft opening.
• Reducing contamination entry into the axle housing.
• Addressing wear-related seal leakage during driveline service.
• Restoring sealing performance after axle or hub service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle configuration and position before ordering, especially on Nissan D21 and Pathfinder applications with or without R180 and R200 differential notes. Confirm shaft diameter and seal dimensions against the original part before installation. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly and can form a consistent sealing contact.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to specific designs and premium material standards for application fit and service life. Part number 19689 reflects SKF's established sealing engineering and quality-focused production methods.
