Corteco 19019538B Differential Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco Differential Shaft Seal (MPN: 19019538B) is a vital component in the drivetrain, specifically designed to prevent leaks and contamination around the differential axles. It ensures the proper lubrication and functionality of the differential, contributing to a smoother and more reliable driving experience. This seal is manufactured in Japan and measures 13 x 72 x 72 mm. Its robust construction and precise engineering deliver long-lasting performance and protection for your vehicle's differential.

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.
