Steer Cylinder Seal Kit 7017246 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Steer Cylinder Seal Kit with JLG Part Number 7017246 is a high-quality seal set specifically designed for the Hydraulic Steer Cylinder used on various JLG Electric and Engine-Powered Boom Lifts, including the E400A and M400A series.
The steer cylinder is a core component of the lift’s mobility system, responsible for the safe and precise angular positioning of the wheels. Due to constant use and exposure to hydraulic fluid, the internal seals wear out over time, leading to common problems like external fluid leaks (weeping rod) or internal bypass (fluid leaking past the piston). Internal bypass can cause sluggish or inconsistent steering response, which is a significant operational hazard.
Using the 7017246 seal kit provides all the necessary components to overhaul the cylinder, restoring its ability to hold pressure reliably, eliminating leaks, and ensuring the steering system operates with optimal precision and safety.1
