Timken 5573S Wheel Seal - Rear

Timken 5573S Rear Wheel Seal for Chevrolet

Timken 5573S is a rear wheel seal for select 1958-1964 Chevrolet Bel Air and Chevrolet Impala applications. It is built to retain lubricant at the wheel end while helping block dirt and debris from entering the sealing area.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion
• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps reduce debris intrusion
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to manage heat build-up

Application Details

Compatible with rear wheel-end service on 1958-1964 Chevrolet Bel Air and 1958-1964 Chevrolet Impala. This Timken 5573S wheel seal is a direct-fit service part for rear axle sealing needs on these classic Chevrolet models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Rear wheel seal replacement for lubricant leakage at the hub
• Service for contamination at the spindle or seal interface
• Repair for worn sealing surfaces on classic Chevrolet rear axles
• Correction for heat-related seal wear at the wheel end

Installation Notes

Inspect the spindle, hub, and sealing surface before installation. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and verify proper seating so the seal lip contacts evenly. Follow the vehicle service procedure for rear axle and wheel-end assembly.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals use reinforced construction and contamination-control features to support consistent sealing performance in wheel-end service.
