SKF 27470 Wheel Seal - Front or Rear

SKF 27470 Wheel Seal Overview

SKF 27470 is a wheel seal built for driveline and axle sealing applications where lubricant retention and contamination control matter. With a nitrile sealing surface, 2.750 shaft diameter, 3.881 outside diameter, and 0.438 width, it is specified for precise sealing performance in the hub area.

For drivers searching for a wheel seal for Honda Civic or similar axle service needs, SKF 27470 provides a direct-fit sealing solution when the application calls for these dimensions.

Key Features

Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in seal design and manufacturing, and this wheel seal reflects that experience with application-specific construction and premium materials. SKF 27470 is made to support proper sealing at the wheel end, helping maintain lubricant integrity while limiting exposure to dirt, water, and road debris. This part cross-references Gates 34319 for the same application.

When replacing a worn wheel seal on a Honda Civic or other vehicle using the same dimensions, matching the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width is essential for proper fit and sealing performance. SKF 27470 is a practical choice for axle and hub service where accurate sealing dimensions are required.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or lubricant seepage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the hub or axle sealing area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
• Noisy or compromised wheel-end service caused by sealing failure
• Maintenance needs during axle or hub repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct application. Inspect the sealing surface and surrounding hub components for wear, scoring, or contamination before pressing in the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For fitment-based searches, use the exact vehicle application data and confirm the seal dimensions against the removed part.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined specifications using materials selected for the application and operating environment. The brand’s seal engineering background and long-term focus on sealing performance support consistent quality for wheel-end service.
