Description

Keep differential lubricant where it belongs with the genuine Spicer Differential Pinion Seal 42449. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 2004-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1996-1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is cataloged for both front and rear axle positions.

Genuine OE quality: Spicer light vehicle axle products are OE parts, made to the same high standards as the original equipment.
Built to Dana's OE standards: Made to meet the OE standards that Dana sets for its axles.
Tested and validated: Checked against rigorous OE specifications. Tested and proven.
Latest production upgrades: Dana keeps developing its axle technology, so the part you buy today may even exceed the standard of the original it replaces.

A pinion seal sits where the pinion yoke or flange exits the differential housing. The seal body stays stationary while its lip contacts the rotating yoke, which helps hold lubricant in and keep dirt and water out. Signs it may need replacing include fluid seeping around the pinion area of the differential, an oily film on the yoke, or a falling fluid level. If a worn pinion seal is causing the leak, this part replaces it.

This seal fits a wide range of other vehicles. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full fitment list, including engine details.
