Keep lubricant in and road grime out with the SKF wheel seal, part number 16085. It is cataloged as a front seal for many vehicles, among them the 1983-1989 Ford B-600 and the 1983-1989 Ford B-700. SKF lists this part as both a wheel seal and a manual transmission seal.
The metal case stays stationary while the sealing lip rides against the rotating surface. This helps hold lubricant in and keep dirt and water out.
- Cold drawn steel wire garter spring: The garter spring is made from cold drawn steel wire for superior fluid retention.
- Deep drawn sheet steel body: The body is formed from deep drawn sheet steel, creating a rigid, stress-resistant metal case.
- Dirt and water protection: Designed to protect against dirt and water.
- Tested design and materials: Built with high-quality, tested design and materials for correct fit on the listed applications.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques since then. Each SKF seal is made to a specific design using premium materials. Those materials are chosen to give the seal the right properties for its application and operating environment.
Signs this seal may need replacing include lubricant seeping past the seal, wet residue on the inside of the wheel, or contamination reaching the brakes. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn seal is the source, this part replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
