Detailed Description

The Continental CS13429 crankshaft seal is engineered for front-of-engine service where dependable oil sealing is critical. Its Viton construction is selected for resistance to heat and fluid exposure, helping the seal retain its shape and sealing contact over time. This makes it a practical choice for front crankshaft seal replacement on vehicles such as the Nissan Maxima, Nissan Frontier, Mazda 626, and Dodge Caravan.

Use the CS13429 when servicing a leaking front crankshaft seal or when replacing a worn seal during timing or front engine maintenance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front crankshaft oil leaks
• Oil seepage around the timing cover area
• Loss of engine sealing integrity
• Contamination of nearby engine components from leaking oil
• Repeat repairs caused by worn sealing surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the crankshaft sealing surface before installation and replace any damaged or grooved components as needed. Clean the seal bore thoroughly, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Verify the application by year, make, model, and front position before service. Fits 1985-1994 Nissan Maxima, front; fits 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, front; fits 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan, front.
