Sealing Performance and Fitment

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, including early integrated shaft seal development and continued refinement of bonding methods and material selection. This differential pinion seal is manufactured to specific design requirements so it can maintain lubricant retention and help keep road contaminants out of the axle assembly. The SKF 16468 is a direct-fit sealing component for rear differential pinion service on 1990-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, 1997-2003 INFINITI QX4, 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup, and 1990-1994 Nissan D21 with the H233BS axle.

This part cross-references Nissan 38189C7010 for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

  • Differential gear oil seepage at the pinion area
  • Contamination entering the rear axle housing
  • Wet housing or driveline residue near the pinion seal
  • Seal wear from age, heat, and mileage
  • Service replacement for rear axle maintenance on Nissan and INFINITI H233BS applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the pinion yoke, sealing surface, and surrounding axle components before installation. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly, and verify the dimensions match the application before assembly. For best results, follow the vehicle service procedure for pinion preload and torque specifications during reassembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures seals to defined design and material standards for long service life and dependable sealing performance. Part number 16468 is engineered for the listed rear axle applications and built to support proper lubricant retention in the differential pinion area.
