What It Helps Address

• Front differential oil seepage at the axle seal area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and driveline contamination
• Fluid loss that can affect differential lubrication
• Service replacement for damaged or hardened original seals
• Leak repair on Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, SLK, and SLC front driveline assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the seal dimensions against the removed part before installation, especially the 48.0 mm inner diameter, 68.0 mm outer diameter, and 9.3 mm thickness. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect the axle and differential mating surfaces for wear, scoring, or contamination before pressing in the new seal. For best results, confirm the vehicle’s front differential application by VIN and compare the OE reference 204 330 00 60.
