Detailed Description

What It Helps Address

• Rear differential cover oil seepage
• Fluid leaks at the axle housing cover seam

• Contamination from a compromised cover gasket
• Repeat leaks caused by an incorrect gasket profile

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the axle housing uses a 10-bolt cover, independent rear suspension, and an 8.800-inch ring gear before installation. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the cover for warpage or damage before fitting the gasket. Verify alignment with the bolt holes and torque the cover evenly to help maintain a uniform seal.
