Keep lubricant in and dirt and water out with the SKF differential pinion seal 18896, which is also listed as a drive axle shaft seal. It is a replacement for a wide range of trucks, vans and SUVs, including the 1979-1997 Ford F-350, 1987-2001 Ford E-250 Econoline, 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, 1994-2008 Dodge Ram 3500, 1994-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 1999-2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It is cataloged for both front and rear positions, depending on the application. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list and engine details.
The seal body stays stationary while its lip contacts the rotating shaft. This helps hold lubricant inside the housing and keep contaminants out.
- Protection against dirt and water: designed to shield the sealed area from outside contaminants.
- Rigid metal case: the body is formed from deep-drawn sheet steel to create a stiff, stress-resistant case.
- Steel garter spring: made from cold-drawn steel wire for fluid retention.
- Tested for correct fit: built with a high-quality, tested design and materials.
SKF invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928 and has kept pioneering new seal designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals follow specific designs and use premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its environment.
Signs this part may need replacing: lubricant seeping or dripping around the seal, oily buildup near the differential or axle, or a falling lubricant level. Diagnose the leak source first. If the seal is the cause, this unit replaces it.
