D2 fr. axle seal replacement

Andy Warren · Oct 5, 2020

Hi all, I need to replace the n/s fr. axle seal, is it best to get a genuine one FTC4822 (only £21.25) or go for a pattern part which is a 10th of the price ? Any recommendations will be, as ever, greatly appreciated.

Not sure why there's multiple pics.

Pattern ones maybe fine but I would get a genuine one.

I bought two recently and they really aren't expensive!

It was a well known problem with those seals even with genuine as all of them had too small ID and failed in no time, i dont know if they rectified that cos i had my shafts machined down for this reason... seems that only NAK branded seals have the proper dimensions

Thanks for that. All I've seen so far are the ones from Allmakes/ Bearmach & genuine of course, I'll have a search.
