Key Features

• Elring part number 761.257 for service and repair identification
• ACM (polyacrylate) material for sealing applications exposed to automotive fluids and heat
• O-ring shape with 53.4 mm inside diameter
• 59.4 mm outside diameter and 3.0 mm thickness for dimensional accuracy
• Suitable for BMW and Volkswagen service applications where this seal ring specification is required

Product Details

This Elring seal ring is specified by its exact dimensions and ACM construction, making it a direct-match sealing component for applications that call for a 53.4 x 59.4 x 3.0 mm O-ring profile. The Elring 761.257 part number is useful when matching replacement seals by size and material rather than by a broad universal listing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn or flattened seal ring during engine or drivetrain service
• Restoring sealing integrity where fluid seepage is present
• Addressing leaks caused by heat-aged or hardened ACM sealing material
• Matching a BMW or Volkswagen seal specification by part number and dimensions

Installation Notes

Verify the groove size, inside diameter, outside diameter, and thickness before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the mating components for scoring, debris, or distortion. Use the correct lubricant or assembly method for the service procedure, and confirm the seal seats evenly without twisting.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized name in gaskets and sealing systems, and this seal ring is built to the listed dimensional and material specifications for accurate service replacement.
