SKF 12705 steering gear pitman shaft seal for the 1984-1985 Toyota 4Runner and other vehicles seals the pitman shaft at the steering gear. It holds lubricant in and keeps contaminants out.

  • Garter spring made of cold drawn steel wire, to hold fluid in
  • Tested design and materials for correct fit
  • Protects against dirt and water
  • Body of deep drawn sheet steel, a rigid, stress-resistant metal case
  • Nitrile sealing surface

Fluid residue around the pitman shaft, or spots under the car where it was parked, can mean this seal is leaking. Before you replace it, look over the steering gear with the engine off and cool and find where the wetness starts, since a leak from a nearby hose or fitting can look the same.

This seal fits the 1984-1985 Toyota 4Runner, the 1969-1985 Toyota Land Cruiser and the 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup. You need one seal per vehicle.
