Detailed Description

Timken 1196 is a wheel seal designed to help keep grease and oil where they belong while limiting the entry of dirt and other contaminants. Its precision sealing design, S-Nitrile construction, and reinforced outer case support dependable wheel-end service in demanding driveline and axle applications. Dimensions include a 0.236 in. width, 2.058 in. outside diameter, 1.496 in. shaft diameter, and 2.047 in. housing bore, making it important to verify measurements during service. This seal cross-references National 1196 and Walker Exhaust 14704 for the same application. For buyers searching for a Timken 1196 wheel seal for Hyundai Elantra rear inner or Mitsubishi Galant rear inner service, this part number is a direct reference point.

What It Helps Address

  • Grease or oil leakage at the wheel end
  • Contamination entering the seal area
  • Seal wear from heat build-up
  • Minor spindle surface imperfections affecting sealing
  • Installation damage to the seal outer case

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, housing bore, and seal width before installation. Clean the spindle and hub surfaces thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing. Proper seating is important on rear inner and front inner wheel seal applications, especially on older Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Dodge Colt platforms. Verify vehicle position and dimensions against the service manual before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken designs oil and grease seals with precision sealing features intended for dependable wheel-end service. The reinforced case, contamination exclusion design, and vented lip layout reflect a focus on durability and controlled lubricant retention in service.
