Detailed Product Description

The Timken 1176S wheel seal is specifically designed to maintain the integrity of the driveline by preventing contaminants from entering and lubricants from escaping. Made from N-polyacrylate, this seal offers excellent resistance to heat, wear, and chemical exposure commonly encountered in automotive applications. Its precise fitment dimensions—0.472 inch width, 2.570 inch outside diameter, and compatibility with a 1.496 inch shaft diameter—ensure a secure and effective seal within the housing bore of 2.559 inches. The clockwise helix design aids in directing contaminants away from the sealing surface, enhancing the lifespan of the seal and the components it protects.
