Detailed Description

SKF 14902A is a rear axle shaft seal used in driveline and axle sealing systems where the seal must maintain a clean barrier between axle lubricant and outside contaminants. The specified dimensions and HMSA92 design help ensure the seal matches the rear axle application on 2013-2016 Nissan Pathfinder, 2017-2024 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2019 INFINITI QX60, and 2020-2023 INFINITI QX60. If you are servicing a rear axle leak on a Nissan Pathfinder or INFINITI QX60, this part number 14902A is the direct replacement to verify against the original seal specification.

This part cross-references Nissan 383423JA0A for the same application.

Common Problems This Seal Can Address

• Rear axle gear oil seepage at the shaft seal
• Contamination entering the axle housing through a worn seal
• Fluid loss that can lead to low lubricant levels
• Noise or wear concerns related to compromised axle lubrication
• Service replacement for a damaged or hardened rear axle seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter, seal width, and seal type before installation. Inspect the axle shaft surface and seal bore for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since surface damage can shorten seal life. Clean the housing thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and rear position before final assembly.
