• Maintenance on Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and INFINITI QX4 rear inner seal locations

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle configuration, position, and seal dimensions before installation. Match the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width to the removed seal, and inspect the sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly before pressing the new seal into place to avoid premature leakage. For best results, verify fitment against the vehicle’s rear axle setup, especially on models with notes such as auto trans., Dana axle exclusions, off-road package exclusions, or C200 differential requirements.
