Description

Keep differential gear oil sealed inside the axle and road grime out with the SKF Differential Pinion Seal 18444. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front or rear differential pinion position across a long list of American Motors, VAM, Jeep, and AM General vehicles — including the 1958-1974 American Motors Ambassador, 1970-1978 American Motors Gremlin, 1968-1974 American Motors Javelin, 1980-1988 American Motors Eagle, 1994-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1994-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 1992-2001 AM General Hummer. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of 45 applications.

This seal fits around the pinion where the shaft enters the differential housing. Its body stays stationary while the sealing lip rides against the rotating pinion yoke, keeping gear oil contained.

Seals the pinion: retains differential gear oil at the pinion shaft and helps keep dirt and moisture out of the housing.
Cataloged position: listed for both the front and rear differential pinion location on the applications above.
Signs it may need replacing: gear-oil seepage or drips at the pinion, a wet, oil-coated pinion yoke, or gear oil pooling below the axle. If a leaking pinion seal is the cause, this replaces it.
