• Constructed from high-quality S-nitrile for enhanced durability and resistance to oil and heat
• Outside diameter options: 2.132 inches (54.15 mm) for accurate housing bore fitment
• Shaft diameter of 1.260 inches (32.00 mm) ensures compatibility with specific differential pinion shafts
• Seal width of 0.354 inches (9.00 mm) for secure sealing and longevity
• Designed to fit housing bores measuring approximately 2.126 inches (54.00 mm)

Technical Details and Material Specifications

The Timken 2008S differential pinion seal is manufactured using S-nitrile, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and high temperatures. The seal’s dimensions include an outside diameter of 2.132 inches (54.15 mm) and a shaft diameter of 1.260 inches (32.00 mm), making it suitable for differential pinion shafts requiring these precise measurements. The housing bore diameter is closely matched at 2.126 inches (54.00 mm), ensuring a tight fit that prevents fluid leakage. With a width of 0.354 inches (9.00 mm), this seal maintains a balance between durability and flexibility, critical for driveline sealing applications.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Prevents differential oil leaks that can lead to driveline damage
• Maintains proper lubrication within the differential assembly
• Reduces contamination ingress that can cause premature wear
• Helps avoid costly repairs related to seal failure in vehicles like Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Dodge Ram
• Supports consistent differential performance under varying driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Timken 2008S differential pinion seal, ensure the housing bore and shaft are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the housing bore without damaging the sealing lip. Verify the shaft diameter matches the 1.260 inch specification to avoid improper sealing. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with differential oil before installation to reduce initial wear. Proper alignment during installation is critical to prevent leaks and extend seal life.
