Key Features

  • Nitrile sealing material for dependable fluid control
  • Metric dimensions: 40.000 mm shaft ID, 52.120 mm OD, 7.500 mm width
  • Flanged outside diameter: 58.000 mm
  • Housing bore: 52.000 mm
  • Redi-Coat finish for easier installation and corrosion resistance

Detailed Product Overview

This National 1962 seal is specified for rear inner wheel seal service on vehicles such as the Audi A4, Audi A6, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen Passat, along with additional Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo fitments. The seal measures 1.575 in. inside diameter, 2.052 in. outside diameter, and 0.295 in. thickness, making it a metric OE-style replacement for applications that require precise shaft and housing dimensions. National has supported sealing solutions for more than 75 years, and this part reflects that focus with a nitrile sealing element and a Redi-Coat surface treatment. This part cross-references Gates 26568 and Dorman - Autograde 66549 for the same application.
