Detailed Description

Elring 841.950 is a precision engine sealing component used in Subaru boxer engine applications where the camshaft seal dimensions must match exactly. The seal’s FPM material is selected for demanding engine environments, while the dust lip adds an extra barrier against dirt and debris at the shaft interface. If you are replacing a leaking camshaft seal on a Subaru WRX STI, Subaru Impreza, or Subaru Forester, confirm the dimensions and swirl type before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Oil residue around the timing cover or front engine area
• Contamination entering the seal lip area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and engine cycling
• Loss of sealing integrity after engine service

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the 32 mm inner diameter and 55 mm outer diameter before installation.
• Inspect the camshaft surface for scoring, pitting, or wear that could affect sealing.
• Clean the bore and shaft thoroughly so the dust lip seats correctly.
• Use proper seal installation tools to avoid damaging the sealing edge.
• Confirm vehicle-specific notes for Subaru WRX STI, Subaru WRX, and other listed applications, including the right-hand twist swirl type where noted.
