The primary function is to prevent engine oil from leaking out of the crankshaft seal housing and to prevent contaminants from entering the engine.
This refers to the spiral pattern on the inside of the seal, designed to help direct any escaping oil back into the engine and aid in the seal's own lubrication during rotation.
You should compare your vehicle's make, model, year, specific engine code, and VIN range against the compatibility list provided. Consulting your vehicle's service manual or a parts professional is recommended.
The dust lip is an additional sealing lip on the outer side of the main sealing lip. It acts as a barrier to prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the engine compartment and damaging the seal or engine components.
Installation requires specific tools and mechanical knowledge to avoid damaging the seal or engine components. If you are not experienced, it is best to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
The seal has an inner diameter of 35mm, an outer diameter of 48mm, and a height of 10mm.
ASW typically refers to a specific type of radial shaft seal design, often indicating a spring-loaded seal with a rubber-covered O.D. and an additional dust lip.
Re-verify seal orientation and ensure it is fully and evenly seated. Check the crankshaft surface for damage or runout. Confirm the correct seal part number was used for the application.
Ensure the installation surface is clean and free of debris. Use a proper seal driver tool and apply even pressure. Lightly lubricate the seal lip before pressing it into place.
Check for excessive crankshaft runout, vibration, or improper shaft surface finish. Ensure the correct lubricant is used and the engine is not overheating. Verify the presence of a dust lip and its effectiveness.
Double-check vehicle VIN, engine code, and manufacturing date against compatibility charts. Consult a professional mechanic or parts specialist.
