I replaced the ball joints on my 2006 F250 (passenger side) yesterday. I had ordered the parts from Amazon, and all were "supposed" to fit my truck. They sent National 710413 for the axle tube dust seals, which was NOT the correct part. I made a trip to town and spent the better part of an hour at O'Reilly trying to get the correct seal. They gave me National 710701...also NOT correct. Can someone, ANYONE, please provide the correct part number for these seals? It is amazing that something so known for failure is so hard to run down.

To be specific...I'm seeking the part number for those dust seals that everyone sees dangling on the front axles, where they've separated/come out of the axle housing tube.

Thanks!

 

You might try looking for this part on FordParts.com. There you may find both the part # and a picture/diagram.

 

I've always had good luck at Napa. If you have one in your area, I would try them.

 

This is the new seal here.

Ford AC3Z-1S175-A - SEAL
Or
Motorcraft BRS-170 Wheel Seal
Or
2014835
Or
National Seal P/N 710701 or Spicer P/N 2014835 or OEM FORD P/N : AC3Z-1S175-A) (From a Youtube post in the video)

That was the seal that I used on my 2006 F350 4WD.
You need something to tap it into place. A large socket and
hammer will work or you can get the correct driver and a
support handle and then hit that with the hammer.
If you want I can post the seal driver part number later.

The key is cleaning all the rust and crud from the axle shaft
and applying some grease to the shaft so that the rubber dows
not snag and rip a hole.
