Keep gear oil where it belongs and shield your rear differential with the SKF Differential Pinion Seal 13833A. This is the seal that rides at the pinion shaft where the driveshaft meets the rear differential, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Subaru applications, including the 1990-1997 and 2013-2021 Legacy, 1998-2021 Forester, 2002-2021 Impreza, 2006-2007 B9 Tribeca, 2008-2014 Tribeca, 2013-2015 XV Crosstrek, 2013-2021 Outback and 2016-2021 Crosstrek.

Signs this seal may need replacing include gear oil seepage around the pinion nose or spots of fluid under the rear differential. If a failed pinion seal is the cause of the leak, this part replaces it; diagnose the source before ordering.
