SKF Differential Pinion Seal for Rear Axles

The SKF 21379 differential pinion seal is built for rear axle service where pinion sealing accuracy matters. With a 2.125 shaft diameter, 3.628 outside diameter, and 0.469 width, this seal is sized for specific driveline applications that need reliable lubricant retention and contamination control.

SKF has a long history in seal engineering, and this part reflects that focus with a polyacrylate sealing surface type selected for demanding driveline environments. If you need an SKF differential pinion seal 21379 for Chevrolet P30 or GMC P3500 rear axle service, this part is built to match the application details listed below.

What This Seal Helps Address

  • Gear oil seepage at the differential pinion area
  • Contamination entering the axle housing through a worn seal
  • Noise or driveline wear related to low lubricant level
  • Leak-related maintenance on Chevrolet P30 rear axle assemblies
  • Leak-related maintenance on GMC P3500 rear axle assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the pinion yoke and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since surface condition affects seal performance. Clean the housing bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. This SKF 21379 seal cross-references A1205S1527 and 172286 for the same application.
