Overview
The Alloy USA 11108 is a rubber axle tube seal for the front axle, fitting the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) and the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). It replaces Alloy USA part numbers 11102 and 11103.
The 11108 is a rubber replacement seal that stands in for the two separate 11102 and 11103 parts. An axle tube seal closes the gap where the axle shaft passes through the tube, so gear oil stays inside and dirt stays out.
Measure your old seal and compare its size with the 11108 before installing, since matching dimensions confirm the right replacement.
Rubber seals in axle ends harden and crack with age, so owners of older ZJs and TJs often replace them during axle work. Because the 11108 stands in for two separate parts, it simplifies ordering for a rebuild.
The seal covers both the ZJ Grand Cherokee and the TJ Wrangler, so owners of either model can use the same part.

Rebuilding the axle tube
Axle tube seals are a small part with a big job: they keep gear oil in and water and grit out. Rubber seals stiffen and crack with age and heat, so a seal that looks intact can still leak once the axle is back in service. Replacing it during a rebuild is far simpler than returning to the job later.
Before fitting the new seal, clean the seating surface of the axle tube and check it for pitting or grooves. Lubricate the lip lightly, start it square, and press it in with a flat driver rather than a hammer. Refill the housing once the seal is in, to the level your axle requires.
- Check the axle shaft bearing while the seal is out
- Use fresh gear oil after the rebuild
- Mark the axle orientation before removal

Installation notes
Replacing an axle tube seal usually means pulling the axle shaft, so the job is often done together with bearings and other seals. Clean the seating surface and apply the seal squarely so it does not tear.
