Keep differential and axle lubricant sealed in — and grit, water, and road debris out — with the Timken Grease/Oil Seal 223542, listed under several names because it does several jobs: Differential Pinion Seal / Differential Seal / Drive Axle Shaft Seal / Wheel Seal. Depending on the application it installs in a front, rear, left, right, or inner/outer position, so confirm your vehicle's location in the Buyer's Guide tab. It's a direct-fit replacement across a wide list of applications, including the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova, Spectrum and Sprint, 1990-2002 Infiniti Q45, 1989-1998 Nissan 240SX, 1984-1996 Nissan 300ZX, 1982-1998 Nissan Maxima and Sentra, 1987-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1968-1978 Toyota Corolla, and 1988-1991 Volvo 780 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for all 55 applications.

  • Precision sealing design: engineered to prevent lubricant escape while stopping harmful contaminants from entering.
  • Reinforced outer case: helps prevent installation damage and enhances durability.
  • Ribbed rubber inner diameter: designed to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating.
  • Internal contamination exclusion system: helps block debris penetration that may lead to leakage.
  • Vent holes: let lubricant flow freely around the seal lip to cool seal components and remove heat build-up.

As a stationary seal, the case stays fixed in its bore while the sealing lip rides the rotating shaft. If a worn or leaking original is the cause of your fluid loss, this replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this Timken 223542 seal do?

It's a grease/oil seal that keeps differential or axle lubricant sealed in while blocking contaminants. It's cataloged as a differential pinion seal, differential seal, drive axle shaft seal, and wheel seal.

Which position does it install in?

Depending on the application it fits a front, rear, left, right, or inner/outer location. Confirm the correct position for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.

Will it fit my vehicle?

It's a direct-fit replacement for 55 applications, from the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Nova to the 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.

What are signs this seal may need replacing?

Lubricant seepage or drips near the seal area and gradual fluid loss are common signs. Diagnose the source of the leak before replacing, as other components can also leak.

Does the seal rotate with the shaft?

No. The outer case stays stationary in its bore, and the sealing lip contacts the rotating shaft to keep lubricant in and debris out.
