Detailed Product Description

The Timken 223018 crankshaft seal is manufactured using S-nitrile, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, heat, and wear. This material choice ensures the seal maintains its integrity under demanding engine conditions. The seal’s precise dimensions, including an outside diameter of 1.820 inches (46.23 mm) and a shaft diameter of 1.181 inches (30.00 mm), make it compatible with the crankshaft and housing bore sizes found in Dodge, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi models such as the Colt, Excel, Mirage, and Scoupe.
