Detailed Description

This Continental camshaft seal is made for Subaru Forester, Impreza, WRX, WRX STI, Legacy, Outback, and Baja models with front camshaft seal applications. The 32X55X8.5MM Viton construction is specified for a reliable seal that helps maintain engine integrity and reduce leakage at the camshaft area. If you are replacing a worn front camshaft seal on a Subaru Forester or Subaru Impreza, CS9047 provides a focused OE-style service part for the job.

Continental CS9047 is a practical choice for Subaru owners addressing oil seepage around the camshaft system. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil leaks at the front camshaft seal
• Fluid seepage that can affect engine cleanliness
• Wear-related sealing loss around the camshaft system
• Loss of sealing integrity after age, heat, or mileage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions before installation: 32X55X8.5MM. Inspect the camshaft sealing surface for scoring, contamination, or damage before pressing in the new seal. Clean the area thoroughly and confirm the seal is seated evenly to support proper oil control.
