Elring 505.090 Differential Seal
Elring Differential Seal for Volvo Applications
The Elring 505.090 differential seal is built for driveline sealing performance where the axle or differential housing needs a precise, durable seal.

Detailed Description
Elring 505.090 is a differential seal designed for driveline and axle sealing applications where dimensional accuracy matters. The ACM construction is suited to sealing duties in automotive environments, while the dust lip adds an extra barrier against road debris and grime. For Volvo S60, Volvo V40, and Volvo C30 service work, this seal supports proper retention of lubricant at the differential or shaft interface when the original seal is worn or leaking. This part cross-references Gates 22448 for the same application.
Common Problems This Seal Can Address
- Gear oil seepage at the differential or axle seal area
- Visible fluid residue around the shaft opening
- Contamination entering the sealing zone
- Seal wear from age, heat, or mileage
- Noise or driveline service concerns tied to low lubricant level
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm shaft and housing dimensions before installation to ensure the 29.9 mm x 47.0 mm x 11.3 mm seal matches the application. Inspect the sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or debris before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For Volvo S60, Volvo V40, and Volvo C30 repairs, verify the original seal profile and orientation against the removed part before assembly.
