• Dirt and water protection: designed to give superior protection against dirt and water at the wheel.
• Cold drawn steel wire garter spring: the garter spring is made from cold drawn steel wire for superior fluid retention.

SKF has long led in seal design and development. It invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept pioneering new designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals are built to specific designs from premium materials, chosen so each seal has the right properties for its application and its environment.

Signs this part may need replacing: lubricant seeping around the wheel hub, lubricant on the inside of the wheel or on brake components, or a worn or damaged seal found during wheel bearing service. If a leaking wheel seal is the cause, the 17617 replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct installation procedure.
