SKF Differential Pinion Seal P/N:18442
Keep differential lubricant in and dirt and water out with the SKF differential pinion seal 21395A, a rear differential pinion seal for Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac trucks, SUVs and vans. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2014-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2014-2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2014-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe.
The pinion seal sits at the front of the rear differential housing, where the pinion shaft exits toward the driveshaft. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides on the rotating pinion. It helps hold lubricant inside the differential and keep road contaminants out.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept developing new seal designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals are made to specific designs using premium materials, chosen to give each seal the right properties for its application and environment.
Signs this seal may need replacing include:
