Timken 474133 Differential Pinion Seal

Timken 474133 is a differential pinion seal built for front and rear axle applications on select Honda, Acura, Isuzu, and Chevrolet vehicles. It helps maintain lubricant at the pinion area while keeping dirt and debris out of the differential housing.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps reduce gear oil escape at the pinion shaft
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter seals minor spindle imperfections and supports positive seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris that can lead to leakage
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to help manage heat buildup
