Timken 7687S Wheel Seal - Rear Inner
Timken 7687S Wheel Seal for Jeep Rear Inner Applications
The Timken 7687S wheel seal is built for rear inner axle sealing on select Jeep CJ and Scrambler models. It helps retain lubricant at the hub while keeping dirt and debris out of the sealing area.
Key Features
- Precision sealing design for lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion
- Reinforced outer case to help resist installation damage and improve durability
- Ribbed rubber inner diameter to seal minor spindle imperfections and promote positive spindle seating
- Internal contamination exclusion system to help block debris that can lead to leakage
- Vent holes that allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to help reduce heat build-up
Detailed Description
Timken 7687S is a wheel seal for rear inner positions on 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7, 1981-1985 Jeep Scrambler, and 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 applications. This seal is engineered to maintain a stable lubricant barrier at the spindle while supporting clean operation in demanding driveline environments. For Jeep CJ5 and Jeep CJ7 rear inner service, the Timken 7687S focuses on sealing performance, contamination control, and fit at the spindle interface.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Gear oil or grease leakage at the wheel end
- Contamination entering the hub or spindle area
- Seal wear caused by minor spindle surface imperfections
- Heat build-up around the seal lip
- Reduced sealing performance from damaged or aging wheel seals
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear inner placement before installation and inspect the spindle surface for wear, scoring, or contamination. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and seat the seal evenly to avoid distortion. Confirm the application against your Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or Scrambler rear inner axle configuration before final assembly.
