SKF Wheel Seal P/N:18972
Keep axle lubricant in and road grit out with the SKF wheel seal 15666, a rear inner wheel seal that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2008 Ford Focus (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). It seats in the hub bore and stays stationary while its lip rides on the rotating shaft, sealing the interface against leakage and contamination.
SKF has been designing shaft seals for over a hundred years, and this unit reflects that experience with premium materials chosen to suit the application and its environment:
If a leaking or worn original seal is letting lubricant weep or allowing dirt and moisture past the sealing lip, this SKF seal replaces it. Made to SKF's quality standards for long life.
