Differential Pinion Seal for 1991-2010 Ford Explorer & More - Schaeffler SS2876

Help keep lubricant inside the differential and road grime out with the Schaeffler Differential Pinion Seal SS2876. Schaeffler catalogs this part as a shaft seal. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1991-2010 Ford Explorer and the 1987-1995 and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. It is cataloged for both front and rear differential positions across its listed applications.

A pinion seal sits in the differential housing where the pinion shaft exits to meet the driveshaft. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides against the rotating pinion yoke or flange. This holds differential lubricant in and helps block outside contaminants.

• Durable design: Built under a robust quality assurance process that accounts for the precise requirements of automotive systems.
• OE expertise: Designed and manufactured to stringent OEM standards for assured quality.
• Premium materials: Chosen so the seal stays durable and effective at providing protection over time.
• Contamination protection: Helps keep dirt, dust and moisture away from the components it guards.

Signs a pinion seal may need replacing: You may see fluid seepage or drips at the pinion end of the differential where the driveshaft connects, an oily film on the housing, or a low differential fluid level. Diagnose the source of the leak first. If a worn pinion seal is the cause, SS2876 replaces it. The correct seal depends on application, position and vehicle class, so see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list and engine details.
