This is a genuine Nissan rear axle seal spacer, designed specifically for leaf-sprung Nissan Navara D40 models. Located on the rear axle housing, this spacer provides the correct seating and a precision-machined running surface for the rear axle seal, which is critical for preventing differential oil leaks.
It is common to find the original spacer worn, grooved, or damaged, especially when removing an old, failed axle seal. Reusing a damaged or worn spacer is a false economy, as it will cause the new seal to fail prematurely, leading to a persistent leak. For a reliable, long-term repair, this spacer should be replaced whenever you service the rear axle seals or bearings.
Installation Note: Replacement is a moderate workshop job that requires removing the rear axle shaft to gain access. Specialised tools and mechanical experience are recommended.
