Overview
The Crown Automotive camshaft thrust seal, part number CRO4536492AB, is a replacement engine seal that fits the 2005–2008 Chrysler Pacifica and the 2009–2010 Dodge Journey. It is a direct fit for those vehicles, so owners can match the part number against their engine before ordering.
Camshaft thrust seals are sold as individual replacement parts. This entry covers the part number, brand and fitment only.
Before you replace a thrust seal
A camshaft thrust seal sits where the camshaft meets the engine block and keeps oil from leaking past the end of the shaft. Its job is quiet and largely out of sight, but a worn seal often shows up as a slow oil seep near the front of the engine, where the timing cover meets the block. Because the seal is tied to camshaft position, a leak in that area is worth tracing before oil reaches the belt or the ground below.
When choosing a replacement, match the part number to the engine and confirm the vehicle details before buying. Thrust seals are often replaced together with the timing cover gasket and front crankshaft seal, since all three are reached through the same area and the labor overlaps. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect it for grooves or pitting before fitting the new seal, because a damaged surface can cause a new seal to leak right away.
- Check the sealing surface for scoring
- Replace the cover gasket at the same time
- Use fresh engine oil after the repair
- Look for oil residue around the front of the engine after the first drive
