Elring 504.483 Crankshaft Seal Overview

The Elring 504.483 engine crankshaft seal is built for precise sealing at the crankshaft to help control oil leakage at the engine timing end or front position, depending on application. It uses FPM (fluoride rubber) and ACM (polyacrylate rubber) materials for sealing performance in demanding engine environments.

With a 35.0 mm inside diameter, 47.0 mm outside diameter, and 7.0 mm thickness, this radial shaft seal is specified with an AW design and RD swirl type. It is listed for select Nissan Platina, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Comanche applications, including 2002-2006 Nissan Platina timing end and front positions.

Detailed Description

Elring 504.483 is an engine crankshaft seal engineered to maintain a tight seal around the crankshaft and reduce oil escape at the sealing point. The seal’s FPM and ACM material blend is selected for engine use, while the AW radial shaft seal design and RD swirl type support the specified rotational direction and sealing geometry. This part number is referenced for multiple OE-style applications, including Nissan Platina models from 2002-2010 and Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Comanche models from the mid-1980s.

This part cross-references National 1172 for the same application. Elring 504.483 is also associated with Nissan Platina timing end service where the listed fitment calls for a 7 mm width, 35 mm inner diameter, and 47 mm outer diameter.

• Loss of sealing integrity during crankshaft seal replacement service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions before installation: 35.0 mm inside diameter, 47.0 mm outside diameter, and 7.0 mm thickness. Confirm the application position shown in the fitment data, since some Nissan Platina listings reference the timing end and front location. Inspect the crankshaft sealing surface for wear or scoring before installing the new seal, and make sure the seal is seated squarely to avoid distortion.
