Rear Axle Seal

The SKF 15372 rear axle seal is engineered to efficiently eliminate contamination and extend the service life of your vehicle's axle components. Subjected to harsh environments due to their undercar position, axle seals are critical for preventing contamination, and SKF offers a broad range of solutions for cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Constructed from superior, base-resistant elastomeric materials, this seal features a variety of hydrodynamic designs, including wave and helix patterns, along with durable radial and axial excluder lips. It is produced in a range of outer diameter options, such as half metal, half rubber, and with or without a flange. To ensure proper fitment and stability, the seal incorporates a thermoplastic/rubber thrust bumper for sufficient lip interference and relative alignment, and a thermoplastic shaft guide to prevent damage during installation. This seal offers excellent compatibility with various fluids and fluctuating temperatures, delivering optimal performance even in corrosive environments. The integrated sleeve acts as both a slinger and a labyrinth to achieve effective contamination elimination. Additionally, a flanged outer diameter aids in effortless seal assembly, while improved pumping action helps to remove excess fluid from the lip and shaft interface, ensuring perfect static sealing and sturdy assembly. According to customer reviews, this seal provides a good quality, effective seal and is considered an excellent replacement part, sometimes even better than the original. For installation, it is recommended to have the correct diameter 'driver' tool, such as a section of PVC pipe with smoothed edges, to press the seal in evenly and avoid damage. This seal is noted to fit specific Nissan Juke models.
