  • Loss of lubricant from the sealed area
  • Wear-related sealing issues on aging Subaru engine components
  • Replacement needs during timing cover service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the seal matches the housing and shaft dimensions. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the mating area for wear, scoring, or debris that could affect sealing performance. Use the exact vehicle application and position listed for 1987 Subaru Standard, N/A and Rear, and 1981-1982 Subaru Standard, Rear.
