Timken KWK99294 Engine Crankshaft Repair Sleeve - Rear

Timken KWK99294 Crankshaft Repair Sleeve

Timken KWK99294 is a crankshaft repair sleeve for seal-worn shafts that need a renewed sealing surface without machining. It is a practical repair solution for rear applications on Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, and other listed vehicles where the shaft surface has been damaged by lip seal wear.

Key Features

• Precision-engineered stainless steel sleeve with a hard-chromed finish for extended service life
• Thin-wall design preserves the original seal size and sealing geometry
• No machining or extensive shaft preparation required before installation
• Removable installation flange helps reduce sleeve distortion during mounting
• Includes an installation tool for shaft-on installation without removing the shaft

Detailed Description

The Timken KWK99294 Kwik-Sleeve restores a worn sealing surface on crankshafts and other rotating shafts where oil leakage has developed from groove wear. Its thin-wall construction is suited for lip-seal applications, and the hard-chromed stainless steel surface provides a smooth running area for the seal lip. This makes it a direct repair option for rear output shafts and differential pinions on applications such as 1997-2002 Jeep TJ, 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler, and 1984-2000 Jeep Cherokee. The KWK99294 part number is also listed for 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon and 1980-1982 Toyota Corolla rear applications.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Oil leakage caused by a worn seal surface on the shaft
• Grooves or scoring where the lip seal rides
• Repair needs on rear manual transmission output shafts
• Repair needs on rear differential pinions
• Replacement of a shaft surface without re-machining

Installation Notes

Clean the shaft thoroughly before installation and inspect the sealing area for damage. Use the supplied installation tool and removable flange to seat the sleeve evenly and avoid distortion. Confirm the seal contacts the new sleeve surface correctly after installation.
