Detailed Description

This Timken wheel seal is designed for rear outer and rear positions on select Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, Pathfinder Armada, and INFINITI QX4 vehicles. The 710176 seal uses a reinforced construction and a ribbed inner diameter to help maintain a secure seal on the spindle surface, even when minor imperfections are present. Timken 710176 is a direct-fit sealing solution for drivers servicing rear axle and wheel-end leakage concerns on these applications.

This part cross-references Gates 22120 and National 710176 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear wheel-end grease or oil leakage
• Contamination entering the seal area
• Heat buildup around the seal lip
• Seal seating issues caused by minor spindle wear
• Premature seal wear from debris intrusion

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear outer or rear position before installation and inspect the spindle surface for scoring, corrosion, or burrs. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and press the seal in evenly to avoid distortion. For best results, replace worn or damaged mating components during service and confirm proper lubricant level after assembly.
