WTD: Rear axle seal......

**lez** · 07-12-2006, 10:33 AM

Ok maybe one of you all in that sunnier country may be able to help me.

Trying to find a rear axel seal for a 'mazda bongo' which is believed to be the same as a seal on a ford ranger / mazda b2500.

UK suppliers are incompetant, or expensive (IE $90)

If any of you own such and tell me how big it is (dimensions) then no doubt I can take a trip down to local bearing suppliers and they will have a skf seal in that size.

I would pull it out throw it at them and say 'one of those please', but look a nob if they then said $5 sir be with you in a week.........

Or if you can get one/have one etc, I'm willing to pay costs+shipping.

what year is your truck? 2 or 4 wheel drive? do you need the axle bearing, or just the seal?

Well we have now found a jap spares place on web, but its still about $40, beginning to wonder if this seal is special other than stopping your diff oil getting into your wheel hub! (as its currently doing)

Like I said we were told that a ford ranger seal should do the trick, and if its only a few $ its worth a try etc.

Spec is 2.5ltr turbo diesel on an auto box driving rear wheels (2wd)

that's fine, but I still need a model year to get you the right seal. the ranger/b-series pickups (and bronco II) used the same rear axle from 1983 to 1990. after that year range, there are variances based on year.
