OEM Rear Differential Pinion Seal for 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder models.
The Rear Differential Pinion Seal is a component that helps to prevent lubricant from leaking out of the differential and onto the ground. It is located at the front of the differential where the drive shaft connects to the pinion gear. Over time, the seal can become worn or damaged, which can cause leaks and other problems.
Here are some signs that the rear differential pinion seal may need to be replaced:
- Leaking fluid: The most obvious sign of a worn or damaged pinion seal is fluid leaking from the rear of the differential. This may be visible as a puddle of fluid under the vehicle or as oil on the drive shaft or rear axle.
- Whining noise: If the pinion seal is worn, it can cause the differential to run low on oil, which can lead to damage to the gears and bearings. This can cause a whining or humming noise from the rear of the vehicle.
- Difficulty shifting: A low level of fluid in the differential can cause difficulty shifting gears, especially at higher speeds.
- Visible damage: If the pinion seal appears visibly worn, cracked or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
