FAG SS2834 Differential Pinion Seal - Front

FAG SS2834 Differential Pinion Seal

The FAG SS2834 differential pinion seal is built for driveline sealing applications that require accurate dimensions and durable sealing materials. It uses a metal-and-spring seal design with nitrile sealing material to help retain lubricant and block contamination at the pinion area.

Compatible with front and rear axle applications on select Mitsubishi, Dodge, Chrysler, and Volkswagen vehicles, including Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi L200, and Dodge Ram 50 fitments. The SS2834 is a direct-fit style seal for service work where the original pinion seal has begun to leak.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2834 is a precision-engineered seal for differential pinion service, built to meet vehicle-specific dimensional requirements. Its nitrile sealing element and spring-loaded metal construction are selected for consistent sealing performance where the pinion area must stay protected from contamination and lubricant loss. This part number is used across a wide range of applications, including Mitsubishi Montero front and rear service, Mitsubishi L200 front service, and Dodge Ram 50 rear outer applications. The SS2834 also cross-references National 224570 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a differential pinion seal for Mitsubishi Montero, Mitsubishi L200, or Dodge Ram 50, FAG SS2834 provides the specified bore, outside diameter, and width needed for proper fitment. It is also listed with interchange references including BBB Industries 17795 and National 224570.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Gear oil seepage at the pinion seal area
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal zone
• Loss of lubricant around the differential pinion
• Noise or wear caused by low lubricant levels
• Service replacement for worn or hardened original seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions against the original part before installation, especially bore diameter, outside diameter, and width. Inspect the pinion surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing bore thoroughly and confirm the seal is seated squarely to avoid premature leakage. Always match the application by year, make, model, and position, since this part is listed for front, rear, rear outer, and N/A positions depending on vehicle.

Quality Assurance

FAG states that its seals are engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and are developed with suppliers to maintain FAG quality standards. The SS2834 is built for demanding sealing requirements in driveline service and is intended to support long-term protection of the sealed components.
