This Genuine Nissan metal seal is fitted to the rear differential housing, this is the one that mounts against the back of the flange. It acts as a crucial first line of defence, protecting the main pinion oil seal from contamination by dirt, water, and road grime. If this seal is damaged, missing, or bent during a uni-joint replacement, contaminants will quickly destroy the oil seal, causing a severe differential oil leak. Ignoring a leaking diff will lead to complete oil loss, resulting in catastrophic failure of your crown wheel and pinion gears and leaving you with a very expensive repair bill.
Please check vehicle fitment to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. Please contact us with your VIN details if you require further assistance to confirm fitment.
Choosing Genuine Nissan parts is the best way to maintain the factory reliability and performance of your vehicle. Unlike some aftermarket alternatives, Genuine parts are manufactured to Nissan's strict engineering standards, using materials specified for durability in Australian conditions. Installing a genuine seal guarantees correct sealing, preventing premature failure that can lead to major oil leaks and catastrophic, expensive damage to your differential's crown wheel and pinion gears.
