Timken 710393 Wheel Seal - Front Outer or Rear Outer

Timken 710393 Wheel Seal Overview

Timken 710393 is a wheel seal for driveline and axle applications that helps retain lubricant while keeping dirt and road debris out. It is a direct-fit option for select Subaru Impreza, Suzuki Esteem, and Suzuki Swift applications, including rear outer and front outer positions.

Key Features

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

Detailed Description

Built for wheel-end sealing performance, Timken 710393 is engineered to maintain lubricant inside the hub area while limiting contamination from entering the assembly. This seal is used in 2004-2006 Subaru Impreza rear outer applications, 1995-2002 Suzuki Esteem front outer applications, and 1989-2001 Suzuki Swift front outer applications. Timken 710393 is a practical replacement choice when servicing wheel bearings, hubs, or axle-end sealing surfaces on these vehicles.

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

Common Repair Uses

• Oil or grease leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the hub or spindle area
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation
• Seal damage caused by worn or imperfect spindle surfaces
• Noisy or compromised wheel-end service after bearing work

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the spindle, hub bore, and sealing surface before installation. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and verify the seal seats evenly to avoid distortion. For best results, replace worn bearings or damaged hardware at the same time if inspection shows related wear.

Quality Assurance

Timken is known for precision-engineered sealing components used in driveline and axle service. Part number 710393 is built to meet the demands of wheel-end lubrication control and contamination exclusion in the listed Subaru and Suzuki applications.
