The nitrile sealing surface is selected for sealing performance in lubricant-exposed environments, helping the steering gear retain fluid while limiting the entry of dirt and other contaminants. SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this part reflects that focus on material selection, fit, and durability. It is a direct-fit style service part for select Chevrolet Nova and Toyota Corolla models, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn steering gear seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering gear lubricant seepage at the worm shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContamination entering the steering gear housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear-related sealing loss in the steering assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid loss that can affect steering gear operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService issues on 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova and 1987-1988 Toyota Corolla steering gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the steering gear specification. Inspect the shaft surface and sealing bore for wear, scoring, or corrosion before fitting the new seal.
