Differential Pinion Oil Seal for the final drive, with a 4-bolt flange (LR-type, non-Salisbury axle). The single-lip seal sits at the front of the pinion shaft, directly behind the drive flange, where the shaft passes through the differential casing.

It forms the primary oil barrier between the crown wheel and pinion gear set and the external flange connection, retaining axle lubricant and keeping contamination out at the rotating pinion interface. Fitted to both front and rear differentials and renewed whenever a pinion oil leak develops or the drive flange is disturbed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC8220 differential pinion oil seal for?

The FRC8220 is a single-lip pinion oil seal for the final drive, with a 4-bolt flange (non-Salisbury LR-type axle). It sits at the front of the pinion shaft behind the drive flange, forming the oil barrier between the crown wheel and pinion gear set and the external flange connection.

Is the FRC8220 pinion seal fitted to the front or rear diff?

The FRC8220 pinion seal fits both the front and rear differentials on these axles. It is renewed whenever a pinion oil leak develops or the drive flange is disturbed, since the seal must be replaced once the flange is removed to reach it.

What are the signs the pinion seal needs replacing?

Signs the pinion seal needs replacing are typically oil weeping from behind the drive flange, or fresh axle oil on the propshaft and flange. Left unchecked, a leaking pinion seal lowers the axle oil level and can starve the crown wheel and pinion of lubrication.

Which models use the FRC8220 4-bolt pinion seal?

The FRC8220 fits the Defender (1986-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994) on the 4-bolt non-Salisbury axle. The rear application runs to chassis VIN VA102732 on Defender, so use your VIN to confirm the axle type before ordering.
