Timken 710202 Drive Axle Shaft Seal - Front Right

Timken 710202 Drive Axle Shaft Seal

Timken 710202 is a drive axle shaft seal built for front right service on select Jeep Wrangler applications. It is engineered to retain lubricant at the axle while helping block dirt and debris from entering the sealing area.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design for lubricant retention and contamination control
• Reinforced outer case to resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system to help keep debris out of the seal lip area
• Vent holes that allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup

Detailed Description

This Timken axle shaft seal is built for front right placement on 1987-1993 Jeep Wrangler models with Spicer 30-F disconnect front axle configuration. The Timken 710202 uses a sealing profile that focuses on lubricant control, contamination exclusion, and stable fit at the spindle interface. For Jeep Wrangler front axle service, that combination supports consistent sealing performance in a demanding driveline location.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Gear oil leakage at the front right axle shaft seal area
• Contamination entering the axle sealing surface
• Seal damage during installation
• Minor spindle surface imperfections affecting seal contact
• Heat buildup around the seal lip

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right position and Spicer 30-F disconnect axle configuration before installation. Clean the sealing bore and spindle surface thoroughly, and inspect for wear, scoring, or corrosion that could affect seal seating. Proper alignment during installation is important to avoid damaging the reinforced outer case or sealing lip.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals are designed with precision sealing features, reinforced construction, and contamination control details to support dependable driveline service.
