Corteco 19016639B Differential Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco 19016639B is a differential shaft seal designed to prevent lubricant leakage from the differential housing. It's commonly used in axles and shafts within the drivetrain system of vehicles. This seal utilizes high-quality materials and precision engineering to ensure a reliable and lasting barrier against contaminants, contributing to extended component life and optimal performance of the differential. It measures 15 x 92 x 92 mm and is manufactured in Japan.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it keeps the gear oil in the differential and keeps dirt, water, and debris out. It’s a simple rubber component, but it’s really important for keeping everything running smoothly. It basically sits where the axle shaft goes into the differential housing and forms a tight barrier. Think of your differential as the part that lets your wheels turn at different speeds when you’re going around corners. That’s complex stuff inside there, all bathed in gear oil. The axle shafts are what actually transfer power from the differential to the wheels. This seal is right where the shaft spins inside the differential housing. Without it, that oil would leak out pretty quickly. It’s a critical part of the drivetrain, keeping power flowing where it needs to.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, leaking gear oil is the biggest issue. If you lose oil, the gears inside the differential don’t get properly lubricated. That leads to wear and tear, and eventually, things can seize up or break. You’ll notice if it's leaking – usually you’ll see oil on the inside of your wheel, or maybe a puddle underneath the axle. It can also cause whining noises. Replacing a seal is a lot cheaper and easier than replacing a whole differential, trust me. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection if you’re looking for one. Ignoring a leaking seal just means more damage down the road, and potentially getting stranded. It acts like a shield, protecting the expensive components inside.
