National 711062 Differential Pinion Seal - Rear Outer

Overview

National 711062 is a differential pinion seal built for rear outer applications that use a 210 mm ring gear and a ZF differential. It is specified across select Porsche, Audi, Bentley, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Volkswagen models, including Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Macan, and Porsche Panamera applications.

This seal uses a clockwise-spiral lip design and polyacrylate construction to help maintain sealing performance in driveline service. The 711062 part number is also useful when cross-checking replacement needs against related OE and aftermarket references.

Key Features

• Polyacrylate seal material for driveline sealing applications.
• Clockwise-spiral lip design for controlled sealing contact.
• Metric dimensions with 55 mm shaft size and 80 mm housing bore.
• Designed for rear outer differential pinion seal service.
• National 711062 series construction for sealing system replacement.

Detailed Description

National 711062 is an oil seal used as a differential pinion seal in rear outer positions with a 210 mm ring gear and ZF differential. Fitment includes 2003-2006 and 2008-2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2015-2018 Porsche Macan, 2010-2018 Porsche Panamera, 2007-2010 Audi Q7, 2004-2012 Volkswagen Touareg, 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton, 2012-2017 Bentley Continental, 2014-2017 Bentley Flying Spur, 2011-2017 Chevrolet Caprice, 2014-2017 Chevrolet SS, and 2008-2009 Pontiac G8.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking differential pinion seal.
• Restoring sealing at the rear outer differential area.
• Addressing gear oil seepage around the pinion shaft.
• Supporting proper differential fluid retention in ZF-equipped drivetrains.
• Correcting wear-related seal failure in compatible driveline assemblies.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the ring gear size, differential type, and rear outer application before ordering. Confirm shaft and housing dimensions against the existing seal and inspect the sealing surface for wear, scoring, or contamination before installation. The 711062 seal should be installed with the lip oriented correctly for the application.
