FAG SS2463 Differential Pinion Seal - Front or Rear

FAG SS2463 Differential Pinion Seal

The FAG SS2463 differential pinion seal is built for rear and front driveline applications that need reliable sealing at the pinion shaft. It uses a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip design with polyacrylate sealing material to help keep gear oil contained while blocking dirt, dust, and moisture.

Compatible With Subaru Forester, Impreza, Outback, Baja, Legacy, and select Nissan rear and front applications, this seal is sized for specific axle and driveline service needs. The FAG SS2463 is a direct-fit style sealing component for vehicles that require precise bore, outside diameter, and width dimensions.

Key Features

• Part number: SS2463
• Differential pinion seal for driveline and axle service
• Seal type: metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip
• Sealing material: polyacrylate
• Bore diameter: 2.638 in. / 67.005 mm

Detailed Description

FAG SS2463 is engineered as a precision differential pinion seal for applications where correct sealing dimensions matter. The metal, spring, and auxiliary lip construction helps maintain contact at the sealing surface, while the polyacrylate material is selected for demanding driveline environments. This seal is used to help retain lubricant and reduce contamination at the pinion area, supporting consistent differential operation in Subaru and Nissan applications.

This part cross-references National 1173 for the same application. It also cross-references Quality-Built 13978 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Gear oil leakage at the differential pinion area
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal area
• Wear caused by degraded or hardened sealing surfaces
• Service issues on rear differential pinion seal replacement jobs
• Fitment-specific sealing needs on Subaru Forester, Impreza, Outback, Baja, and Legacy, plus select Nissan D21, 720, Pathfinder, Maxima, 280ZX, 810, Sentra, 200SX, and Pickup applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the pinion shaft and housing for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For best results, confirm vehicle position and axle configuration against the listed fitment before service.
