Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, beginning with the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. SKF 23839 reflects that experience with a seal design focused on keeping lubricants in place while helping block road contaminants from entering the hub or axle area. The nitrile sealing surface is selected for sealing performance in demanding automotive environments, and the dimensional specifications help ensure the correct fit where this wheel seal is required.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are servicing a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or another vehicle that uses this seal specification, SKF 23839 provides a practical replacement option for wheel-end sealing service.

What It Helps Solve

• Wheel-end lubricant leakage
• Contamination entering the hub or axle area
• Seal wear that can affect bearing protection
• Noisy or rough wheel-end operation caused by sealing failure
• Service replacement needs for axle and hub sealing repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the original seal specification. Inspect the sealing surface, hub bore, and shaft for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Verify the application details for your Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or other vehicle before final assembly.
