Help keep fluid where it belongs and grit out with the SKF Power Steering Pump Shaft Seal / Automatic Transmission Shift Shaft Seal, part number 8017. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1994-2006 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler. It also fits many Chrysler, Plymouth, International, GMC and Chevrolet vehicles. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
SKF lists this seal under two names: power steering pump shaft seal and automatic transmission shift shaft seal. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides on the shaft. This helps hold fluid in and keep outside contaminants away from the shaft opening.
- Quality-tested design: Built with tested design and materials for a correct fit.
- Garter springs: Cold drawn steel wire garter springs help the seal retain fluid.
- Rigid metal case: The body is deep drawn sheet steel, forming a rigid, stress-resistant metal case.
- Contaminant protection: Designed to help guard against dirt and water.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928. It builds its seals to specific designs, using premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its operating environment.
Signs this seal may need replacing: fluid seeping or dripping at the shaft, a falling fluid level, or oily residue building up around the seal area. Confirm the source of the leak before replacing the seal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SKF 8017 seal do?
It seals the shaft opening at a power steering pump or automatic transmission shift shaft. Its lip rides on the shaft to help hold fluid in and keep dirt and water out.
Why is it listed under two part names?
The same SKF 8017 seal is cataloged for both the power steering pump shaft and the automatic transmission shift shaft, so it is listed under both part-type names.
What is the SKF 8017 made of?
The case is deep drawn sheet steel, which makes a rigid, stress-resistant body. The garter springs use cold drawn steel wire.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It fits many vehicles, including the 1994-2006 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What are signs this seal may need replacing?
Fluid seeping at the shaft, a falling fluid level or oily residue around the seal can point to a worn seal. Confirm the source of the leak before replacing it.
