Use SS2917 when servicing rear differential leaks on applications such as the Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota, and Chrysler Imperial. The listed dimensions and application notes make it a direct-reference choice for matching the correct pinion seal to the axle setup.

What It Helps Address

• Rear differential gear oil seepage at the pinion area
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the axle housing
• Loss of lubricant around the pinion shaft seal surface
• Wear-related sealing issues during differential service
• Replacement needs on listed Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth rear axle applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle configuration, ring gear size, and pinion shaft notes before installation. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original part and inspect the pinion yoke surface for wear or grooves that could affect sealing. Clean the housing bore thoroughly and verify the seal seats evenly during installation.
