Timken 470064 Wheel Seal - Rear

Timken 470064 Rear Wheel Seal

Timken 470064 is a rear wheel seal built for select Buick full-size applications from the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is engineered to retain lubricant at the wheel end while helping block road debris and moisture from entering the sealing area.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion
• Reinforced outer case to resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system to help keep debris out of the seal lip area
• Vent holes to promote lubricant flow around the seal lip and reduce heat buildup

Application Details

Compatible with rear wheel-end service on 1956-1958 Buick Roadmaster and 1959-1962 Buick LeSabre. This Timken 470064 wheel seal is a direct-fit service part for rear axle sealing on these Buick models, including 1956 Buick Roadmaster rear, 1957 Buick Roadmaster rear, 1958 Buick Roadmaster rear, 1959 Buick LeSabre rear, 1960 Buick LeSabre rear, 1961 Buick LeSabre rear, and 1962 Buick LeSabre rear. This part cross-references National 470064 and Quality-Built 15592 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil or grease leakage at the rear wheel end
• Contamination entering the spindle or hub sealing area
• Seal wear caused by heat buildup around the lip
• Minor spindle surface imperfections that affect sealing
• Damage during seal installation on older axle assemblies

Installation Notes

Inspect the spindle, hub, and seal bore before installation. Clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly and verify the seal seats evenly to avoid distortion. On classic Buick rear axle service, confirm the replacement seal matches the original dimensions and orientation before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals use precision sealing geometry, a reinforced outer case, and contamination-control features to support reliable wheel-end service on vintage Buick applications. Timken 470064 is built to the same application standard used across the listed cross-reference numbers.
