Timken 493291 Front Inner Wheel Seal

The Timken 493291 wheel seal is built for front inner axle service on select Dodge and Plymouth vans and trucks. It is designed to retain lubricant at the hub while helping block road debris and contamination from entering the sealing area.

Key Features

  • Precision sealing design helps control grease and oil loss at the wheel end
  • Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and adds durability
  • Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and improve spindle seating
  • Internal contamination exclusion system helps reduce debris intrusion that can lead to leakage
  • Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to help manage heat build-up

Detailed Description

Timken 493291 is a front inner wheel seal for applications including Dodge Ram 2500 Van, Dodge Ram 3500 Van, Dodge B3500, Dodge B250, Dodge B350, Dodge B150, Dodge D150, Dodge D350, Dodge Ramcharger, Dodge W350, Dodge D100, Dodge D250, Dodge B200, Dodge B300, Dodge D200, Dodge D300, and Plymouth PB150, PB250, and PB350 models listed in the fitment data. It is used in 3,800 lb., 4,000 lb., and 4,500 lb. axle configurations where specified, including 8-stud front inner applications. This part number, 493291, is a direct-fit sealing component for maintaining proper hub lubrication in the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references National 473229 and SKF 22329 for the same application.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

  • Gear oil or grease leakage at the front hub
  • Contamination entering the wheel-end sealing area
  • Seal wear caused by heat build-up around the lip
  • Poor sealing on minor spindle surface imperfections
  • Damage during seal installation on the outer case

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle rating, stud count, and front inner position before installation. Clean the spindle and hub sealing surfaces thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, pitting, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Proper seating is important for the ribbed inner diameter to seal correctly. Use the vehicle-specific fitment notes to confirm the correct application for Dodge B-series, D-series, Ramcharger, and Plymouth PB-series models.

Quality Assurance

Timken designs its oil and grease seals with precision sealing features, contamination exclusion, and durability-focused construction for wheel-end service.
