Timken 710068 Drive Axle Shaft Seal for Jeep

The Timken 710068 drive axle shaft seal is built for front axle sealing on a wide range of Jeep applications, including Jeep Wrangler, Jeep TJ, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, CJ5, CJ7, Comanche, J10, and J20 models.

This part cross-references National 710068 for the same application.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps control lubricant loss at the axle shaft
• Reinforced outer case resists installation damage and adds durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and seat securely
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps keep debris out of the seal area
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup

Detailed Description

Timken 710068 is a front drive axle shaft seal for Jeep driveline service, including Dana/Spicer 30 axle applications and transfer case output shaft bearing compatible listings where specified. It is a practical replacement for front axle sealing on Jeep Wrangler and Jeep TJ models, as well as earlier Jeep CJ and Comanche platforms that use Spicer 30-F configurations. The seal’s construction focuses on stable seating, contamination control, and lubricant retention for dependable axle operation.

What It Helps Address

• Front axle lubricant seepage at the shaft seal
• Contamination entering the axle sealing area
• Seal wear from heat buildup around the lip
• Poor seating on worn or slightly imperfect spindle surfaces
• Leak-related driveline maintenance on Jeep front axle assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the spindle, axle shaft, and seal bore before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and verify the axle configuration, since some Jeep applications use front left disconnect or non-disconnect setups. Proper alignment during installation helps prevent case damage and supports a uniform seal lip contact pattern.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals are built with precision sealing geometry and contamination control features for driveline service. The reinforced case, ribbed inner diameter, and vented design reflect Timken’s focus on durable sealing performance in axle applications.
