Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal,Differential Seal P/N:SS3741
The Schaeffler SS2578 differential pinion seal for the 1983-2018 Ford F-150 and other vehicles seals around the pinion shaft where it enters the differential housing, so the lubricant stays in the differential.
Drips where the driveshaft meets the differential, or an oily film on the housing nose, can mean this pinion seal is worn, though a seeping fill plug or a leaking differential cover gasket can leave similar traces. Find the leak's source before you replace the seal.
The vehicles it fits include the 1983-2018 Ford F-150 with the 8.8-inch ring gear axle, plus the 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2002-2007 Saturn Vue, where it seals the rear differential.
