InMotion WS225230 Wheel Seal

Wheel Seal for Differential Pinion Applications

The InMotion WS225230 wheel seal is built with nitrile sealing material to help maintain a secure barrier at the differential pinion area. It is engineered to keep debris and moisture out while helping reduce fluid leakage in demanding driving conditions.

With precise dimensions and a focused sealing profile, this seal supports reliable operation in vehicles that use a rear inner, rear outer, front outer, or front inner seal location depending on application. The InMotion WS225230 is a practical replacement for service work on Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Hyundai, Acura, and Dodge platforms.

Detailed Description

InMotion WS225230 is a precision-made seal for driveline and axle service, using nitrile sealing material to create a tight interface between the shaft and housing. Its dimensions are specified for applications that require a 2.047-inch inside diameter and shaft diameter, along with a 2.835-inch housing bore and 0.315-inch width. This helps support a consistent seal at the differential pinion area where fluid retention and contamination control are critical.

Compatible vehicle coverage includes Fits 1988-2002 Isuzu Trooper, rear inner; Fits 1999-2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS, rear inner; Fits 1996-1999 Acura SLX, rear inner; and Fits 1988-1995 Isuzu Pickup, rear inner. It also covers Fits 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Expo, front outer; Fits 1989-1994 Hyundai Sonata, front outer; and Fits 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front outer. The WS225230 part number is also listed for additional applications across Subaru, Dodge, and Isuzu models.

What It Helps Address

• Differential pinion fluid leaks
• Contamination from dirt, road debris, and moisture
• Seal wear at the axle or pinion interface
• Loss of sealing integrity in high-mileage driveline service
• Noise or driveline issues related to low lubricant levels

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal location, dimensions, and vehicle position before installation. Match the application exactly to the listed position, such as rear inner or front outer, because the same vehicle family may use different seal locations. Inspect the shaft and housing bore for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and confirm proper alignment during installation to avoid premature leakage.

Quality Assurance

InMotion manufactures this seal with precision-focused construction and high-quality materials to support reliable sealing performance in driveline service. The nitrile sealing material is selected for durability in demanding automotive environments.
