The Timken 1183 wheel seal is built for front inner wheel applications that need reliable lubricant retention and contamination control. It is a direct-fit sealing solution for select Nissan 510 and Nissan 210 models, with dimensions that support proper housing and shaft engagement.

  • S-Nitrile material for sealing performance in driveline and axle service
  • Outside diameter: 2.176 in. / 55.27 mm
  • Housing bore: 2.165 in. / 55.00 mm
  • Shaft diameter: 1.693 in. / 43.00 mm
  • Width: 0.315 in. / 8.00 mm
  • Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage
  • Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections
  • Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris entry
  • Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup

Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with front inner wheel seal applications on 1968-1973 Nissan 510 and 1979-1982 Nissan 210. Use Timken 1183 when servicing the front inner seal on these Nissan models and matching the listed dimensions to the hub and spindle assembly.

This part cross-references SKF 550228 for the same application.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

  • Gear oil or grease leakage at the wheel end
  • Contamination entering the hub or spindle area
  • Seal wear caused by heat buildup around the lip
  • Minor spindle surface imperfections that affect sealing
  • Damage from installation or removal of the old seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify housing bore, shaft diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the spindle and hub sealing surfaces thoroughly, and inspect for grooves, corrosion, or scoring that could affect seal seating. Proper alignment during installation is important to avoid case distortion and to maintain a consistent seal lip contact pattern.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals are engineered with precision sealing features for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion. The reinforced outer case, ribbed inner diameter, and vented design reflect Timken’s focus on durable sealing performance in wheel-end service.
