D2 front drive shaft oil seals

SteveG4TRA · Aug 6, 2018

I have read a number of threads regarding new replacement oil seals for the front drive shafts that leak after a very few miles. It would seem that there is an anomaly with the dimensions of some of the Indian replacement seals.
Can anyone recommend a front driveshaft oil seal that will not leak and does the job first time.
Many thanks

It seams from some reports that the NAK branded ones are the only ones which are OK, e.g https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/447980/2423/oil_seal_driveshaft__p38_new_range_rover... i didnt find them when i had this problem so my shafts were machined down with 0.5mm to not kill the seals after i replaced them 4 times in a month with all i've found including genuines so now i can fit all except NAK which might not be tight enough

Thanks Sierraferry, that was the consensus I had come to reading all the threads. OK, a couple of FTC4822 NAK seals ordered. Lets see if I can get the old out and the new in without damaging anything

Hi Dave,
Have replied to your other post re seals. As you have the ball joint removal tool have a look at the removal/instillation tubes in the kit. Mine had one that was a perfect size to knock the seal in.

You are right Griff I have already sussed that out. There's one spot on for the installation of the new seals.
