Timken 441130 Steering Gear Worm Shaft Seal

Timken 441130 Steering Gear Worm Shaft Seal

Timken 441130 is a steering gear worm shaft seal built for precise lubricant control in steering systems. It uses an S-Nitrile sealing material, a reinforced outer case, and a ribbed inner diameter to help seat against minor shaft imperfections while keeping contaminants out.

Key Features

• S-Nitrile construction for sealing performance in steering gear service
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and adds durability
• 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 build-up
• Dimensions: 1.000 in shaft diameter, 1.375 in housing bore, 1.381 in outside diameter, 0.189 in width

Detailed Description

This steering gear worm shaft seal is designed for steering gear assemblies that need reliable lubricant retention and contamination control. Timken 441130 is a direct-fit style seal with a Type 44 profile, sized for a 1.000-inch shaft and a 1.375-inch housing bore. It is a practical choice for steering gear service on applications such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado steering components where seal integrity matters. This part cross-references Anchor 9820 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering gear oil or grease leakage at the worm shaft
• Contamination entering the steering gear housing
• Seal wear caused by heat build-up around the lip
• Poor sealing on shafts with minor surface imperfections
• Reduced steering gear lubricant retention during service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, housing bore, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the bore and shaft thoroughly, inspect for scoring or corrosion, and press the seal in evenly to avoid case distortion. Confirm the seal lip seats squarely and that the steering gear assembly is properly lubricated before returning the vehicle to service. Fits 2006-2011 Honda Civic, front right.
