Keep lubricant where it belongs and dirt out of the driveline with the Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal / Manual Transmission Main Shaft Pilot Seal, part number SS2602. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2001-2006 Jeep Wrangler, the 2001-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 2001-2006 Jeep TJ; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Schaeffler lists this shaft seal under both part-type names, and it is listed for front and rear positions across the listed applications.
The seal body stays stationary in its bore while its lip rides against the rotating shaft. This helps hold lubricant in and keep contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture out.

- OE expertise: Designed and manufactured to meet stringent OEM standards.
- Premium materials: Chosen to help the seal stay durable and effective in providing protection over time.
