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.
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.
