Timken 9568 Wheel Seal - Rear

Timken 9568 Rear Wheel Seal

Timken 9568 is a rear wheel seal built for driveline and axle service where lubricant retention and contamination control matter. It is a direct-fit option for select Ford Bronco and Ford E-100 Econoline rear axle applications, including 1969-1977 Ford Bronco rear 2,780 lb. axle and 2,900 lb. axle, plus 1970-1973 Ford E-100 Econoline rear 3,050 lb. axle.

Key Features

• Precision sealing design helps retain grease and oil at the wheel end.
• Reinforced outer case resists installation damage and supports durability.
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and improve spindle seating.
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris that can lead to leakage.
• Vent holes promote lubricant flow around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup.
• Timken 9568 is built for rear axle wheel seal service on select classic Ford applications.

Detailed Description

Timken 9568 is engineered for rear wheel sealing in driveline and axle assemblies. Its sealing profile is designed to keep lubricant in place while helping prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the hub area. For owners servicing a Ford Bronco rear axle or a Ford E-100 Econoline rear axle, this seal supports the kind of fitment-specific repair needed for older vehicles where spindle condition and heat management can affect seal life. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Rear axle grease or oil leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination entering the seal area
• Seal wear caused by minor spindle surface imperfections
• Heat buildup around the seal lip
• Installation damage to the seal case

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle rating and rear application before installation. Inspect the spindle or sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since older Ford Bronco and Ford E-100 Econoline rear axle components can affect sealing performance. Clean the hub and seal bore thoroughly, and seat the seal evenly to avoid distortion.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals use precision sealing designs and contamination-control features to support dependable axle service. Timken 9568 is built to the brand’s sealing standards for rear wheel seal applications.
