Rear Wheel Seal for 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7 - Timken 225872

Keep wheel-bearing lubricant sealed in and road grime out with the Timken Wheel Seal 225872, a grease/oil seal that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7 (All). It rides stationary in its bore while its lip contacts the rotating spindle, helping retain grease or oil at the wheel and blocking dirt, water, and debris from reaching the bearing.

• Precision sealing design: engineered to prevent lubricant escape while keeping harmful contaminants from entering.
• Reinforced outer case: helps resist installation damage and adds durability.
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter: designed to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating.
• Contamination exclusion + venting: an internal exclusion system helps stop debris penetration that can lead to leakage, while vent holes let lubricant flow freely around the seal lip to help cool the seal and shed heat build-up.

The listed application uses 2 seals; order enough to complete the job. Signs this seal may need replacing include grease or oil weeping around the wheel/spindle area or contamination reaching the bearing — diagnose the cause before replacing.

Interchange: Manufacturer part number 225872.
