InMotion WS205017 Wheel Seal - Front Inner

InMotion WS205017 Differential Pinion Seal

The InMotion WS205017 is a felt differential pinion seal built to create a secure barrier at the pinion area. With an inside diameter of 1.625 inches, outside diameter of 2.332 inches, and width of 0.406 inches, it is sized for a precise fit around the shaft and housing bore.

Use this differential pinion seal when you need a direct replacement for a worn seal that is allowing gear oil seepage or contamination at the pinion interface. The WS205017 is a practical choice for driveline service on applications such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado where pinion sealing accuracy matters.

Detailed Description

InMotion WS205017 is engineered to help maintain a tight seal at the differential pinion, reducing the chance that moisture, road debris, and lubricant loss reach sensitive internal driveline components. Its measured dimensions support accurate seating in the housing bore and around the shaft, which is important when replacing a seal during differential service. For Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado driveline repairs, WS205017 provides a straightforward sealing solution where dimensional match is critical.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Gear oil leaking from the differential pinion area
• Contamination entering the pinion seal interface
• Seal wear from age, heat, or driveline service
• Noise or driveline concerns related to low lubricant level
• Loss of sealing integrity after differential maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the pinion shaft, housing bore, and sealing surface before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly and verify the dimensions match the replacement seal before pressing it into place. Proper alignment during installation helps the seal seat evenly and maintain contact at the shaft surface. Confirm application details for your vehicle before service; this seal is commonly searched for Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado differential repair work.

Quality Assurance

InMotion manufactures this seal with precision-focused construction and high-quality materials to support reliable differential sealing performance. The WS205017 is built to help protect internal components from contamination and lubricant loss during normal driveline operation.
