Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal,Differential Seal P/N:SS3741
Help keep differential lubricant sealed in with the Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal SS2857, a rear differential pinion seal for Ford and Mercury vehicles. It serves as a direct-fit replacement for many listed applications, including the 1965-1973 and 1979-1982 Ford Mustang and the 1983-1984 Ford Ranger. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
The pinion seal sits at the front of the rear differential, where the pinion yoke connects to the driveshaft. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides on the rotating yoke. This helps retain lubricant and keep contaminants out.
Signs this part may need replacing: lubricant seeping or dripping around the pinion yoke at the front of the rear differential, or oily residue on the housing. If a worn pinion seal is the cause, this seal replaces it. Inspect the yoke's sealing surface, and follow the vehicle service information for installation and pinion nut procedures.
