The Corteco 01035178B is a differential shaft seal designed to prevent lubricant leakage from the differential assembly. This seal is crucial for maintaining proper lubrication within the drivetrain, specifically in the differential, ensuring smooth operation and preventing damage to gears. This high-quality seal provides reliable performance and extended service life due to its precision engineering and durable materials. It measures 13 x 72 x 72 mm and is manufactured in Hungary. This seal’s job is pretty straightforward – it keeps the gear oil inside your differential and keeps dirt and water out. It's a circular gasket that fits around the axle shaft where it exits the differential housing. It spins with the axle and has to maintain a tight seal against the housing, even at speed. Think of your differential as the part that lets your wheels turn at different speeds when you’re going around corners. The axles are what actually deliver the power to those wheels. The differential shaft seal sits right where the axle shaft comes out of the differential. It's a crucial component in the drivetrain, making sure everything stays lubricated and functioning properly. Without it, things get messy, and quickly. Well, gear oil is vital for the differential’s gears. It keeps them lubricated, cool, and prevents wear. When this seal fails, oil leaks out. You’ll notice if it does, usually as a slick spot on the axle or under the vehicle. A leak isn’t just a mess, it means the gears aren’t getting the lubrication they need, which leads to damage, noise, and eventually, a very expensive repair. It’s also important to keep contaminants out—water and dirt can really mess up the gears. Ignoring a leaking seal is a short path to needing a complete differential rebuild. You can usually find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and replacing it is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole differential. Long-lasting quality: Differential Shaft Seal (MPN 01035178B) includes a 12-month warranty!
