Just had a new Pinion seal delivered from Paddocks for my 110 Salisbury rear diff, OEM quality apparently

But the seal looks wonky. Is this normal or should I send it back?

looks oddly chamfered

was it oem or.....



Sorry - just re-read your post saying OEM quality

I'd return if time is on your side - you don't want to fit twice

Paddocks are pretty good - why not phone them and arrange to email the piccy for their comment?

OEM means nothing. Why not fit genuine?

Yes it is a leather seal.

It's not genuine because Paddocks didn't give me that option and my closest Landrover main dealer is 40 miles away!
