Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal,Differential Seal P/N:SS2530
Keep gear lubricant where it belongs and block contaminants at the rear axle with the Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal SS2588. This rear pinion seal installs as a direct-fit replacement across a huge span of GM cars, trucks and vans, including the 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro, 1978-2000 Chevrolet Camaro, 1982-2004 Chevrolet S10, 1987-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1976-1987 Buick Century and many more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 89 applications.
The pinion seal sits where the driveshaft yoke meets the rear differential. Its body stays stationary while the sealing lip rides against the rotating pinion shaft, keeping differential lubricant inside and blocking dirt, dust, and moisture from getting in. Weeping gear oil at the pinion/yoke area or fluid collecting under the rear axle are signs the seal may need replacing — if a worn pinion seal is the cause, this part replaces it.
