Corteco 01036920B Differential Shaft Seal

Description

This Corteco Differential Shaft Seal (MPN: 01036920B) is a critical component within the differential assembly of a vehicle's drivetrain. It prevents the leakage of gear oil and contamination from entering the differential, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. This seal is manufactured in Hungary and measures 15 x 92 x 92 mm. By maintaining proper lubrication and preventing contaminant ingress, this differential shaft seal enhances the longevity and performance of the differential, contributing to a quieter and more efficient drivetrain system.

Key Features & Benefits

This seal basically keeps the gear oil in the differential and keeps dirt and water out. It sits right where the axle shafts come out of the differential housing. It’s a pretty simple part, really, a ring made of rubber or a rubber compound, but it has a big job. It spins with the axle, so it’s designed to handle a lot of friction and constant movement. Think of your differential as the part that lets your wheels turn at different speeds when you’re going around a corner. That’s important. The shaft seal is part of that system, ensuring the gears inside are properly lubricated. It’s a crucial part of the drivetrain, so everything runs smoothly. It’s right there where the power is transferred to the wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this seal fails, you’ll start to lose gear oil. You’ll notice if it does, because you’ll likely see an oil leak and maybe hear some unusual noises. Losing that oil means the gears aren't getting the lubrication they need, and that leads to wear and tear, and eventually, potential damage—expensive damage. It acts like a shield, preventing contaminants from getting in and grinding everything up. If you let a leak go on too long, you could end up needing to replace the entire differential. You can find these seals pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and they aren’t too difficult to replace if you’re reasonably handy. But definitely address it quickly to avoid bigger problems.
