Elring 034.560 Engine Crankshaft Seal - Rear

Elring 034.560 Engine Crankshaft Seal

Elring 034.560 is an engine crankshaft seal built for rear and transmission-side applications across a wide range of Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, Ram, and Volvo vehicles. It uses FPM fluoride rubber and a dust lip to help maintain a clean sealing surface in demanding engine and transmission-end locations.

Key Features

• Engine crankshaft seal for rear and transmission-side service locations
• FPM (fluoride rubber) construction for sealing performance in high-temperature engine environments
• 85.0 mm inside diameter, 103.0 mm outside diameter, and 8.0 mm thickness
• Dust cover with dust lip to help reduce contamination at the seal edge
• Radial shaft seal design AS with swirl type LD, also described as left-hand twist in fitment notes
• Elring part number 034.560 for direct catalog lookup

Detailed Description

This Elring crankshaft seal is specified for a broad range of import and domestic applications, including Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Dodge Journey platforms. The seal dimensions and design details are important for matching the crankshaft bore and sealing direction, especially on rear or transmission-end installations where the seal must control oil leakage under continuous rotation. This part cross-references MAHLE JV1679 and National 710767 for the same application.

Use Elring 034.560 when you need a crankshaft seal with the correct 85 mm inner diameter, 103 mm outer diameter, and 8 mm width profile. The left-hand twist swirl design and dust lip are key details for vehicles listed in the fitment data, including many Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima configurations as well as Mitsubishi Lancer and Jeep Patriot applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Engine oil leaking from the rear crankshaft seal area
• Oil seepage at the transmission-side crankshaft opening
• Contamination entering the seal area from road debris or dust
• Seal wear caused by heat, age, or shaft rotation direction mismatch
• Repeat leaks after an incorrect-size or incorrect-design replacement seal

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the seal position before ordering: rear and transmission-side applications are both listed in the fitment data.
• Match the seal dimensions to the engine specification: 85.0 mm inside diameter, 103.0 mm outside diameter, and 8.0 mm thickness.
• Confirm the swirl direction and radial shaft seal design before installation, especially on Hyundai Sonata, Kia Sportage, and Mitsubishi Outlander applications.
• Inspect the crankshaft sealing surface for grooves, scoring, or contamination before fitting the new seal.
• Clean the housing and shaft area thoroughly so the dust lip can seat correctly.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized sealing-system manufacturer, and this crankshaft seal is built to the listed material and dimensional specifications for accurate replacement service. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and position against the fitment data before installation.
