Description

Keep lubricant inside the axle and road grime outside with the SKF 18708 rear Differential Pinion Seal, which closes the opening where the pinion exits the differential housing. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-2000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1968-1978 Dodge Charger. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Protection against dirt and water: designed to help keep dirt and water out of the differential.
Rigid metal case: the body is formed from deep drawn sheet steel for a rigid, stress-resistant case.
Garter spring: made with cold drawn steel wire, intended for fluid retention.
Tested design: built with a high-quality tested design and materials for correct fit.

SKF has designed and developed seals since it invented the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, and it has continued to pioneer new designs and bonding techniques since then. Its seals follow specific designs and use premium materials chosen to suit both the application and its environment, keeping lubricants in and contaminants out. The seal body stays stationary in the housing while its lip contacts the rotating part.

Will this pinion seal fit a 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500?

Yes. It is listed as a rear differential pinion seal for the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 1994-2000 Dodge Ram 2500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm it fits your vehicle.

What does a differential pinion seal do?

It seals the opening where the pinion exits the differential housing. The seal body stays stationary while its lip contacts the rotating part, helping keep lubricant in and dirt and water out.

How is the SKF 18708 constructed?

Its body is deep drawn sheet steel, forming a rigid, stress-resistant metal case. Its garter spring uses cold drawn steel wire for fluid retention.

What are signs a pinion seal may need replacing?

Common signs include gear oil seeping where the driveshaft meets the differential, an oily differential housing and a low fluid level. Find the source of the leak before you replace parts.

What does installing a pinion seal involve?

The job typically involves removing the driveshaft and the pinion yoke or flange. Follow the vehicle service information for pinion nut torque and preload, then refill the differential.
