This is a Genuine Nissan rear differential pinion seal, designed as a direct replacement for the Nissan Navara D22. This critical seal is fitted to the rear differential housing where the tailshaft yoke enters. Its function is to keep the differential gear oil in, while preventing the ingress of water, dirt, and other contaminants that can cause severe damage to internal components.
Over time, constant heat cycles and wear can cause the original seal to harden, crack, and fail. The most common sign of a faulty pinion seal is a visible oil leak at the front of the rear differential. Using a genuine Nissan replacement ensures the correct material composition and precise fitment, preventing premature failure and protecting one of your vehicle's most important driveline components.
Replacing a pinion seal is considered a moderate workshop job, requiring the removal of the tailshaft and the differential yoke. It is critical that the pinion bearing preload is reset correctly during reassembly to avoid causing premature bearing wear or gear damage. You will also require fresh differential gear oil to refill the housing. Depending on the procedure, it is often recommended to replace the pinion nut and crush sleeve at the same time.
