Help keep engine oil where it belongs at the back of the crankshaft with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Crankshaft Seal Kit, part number ABS1103, a rear main seal set for L4-2.0L and L4-2.4L engines. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler L4-2.4L, the 2002-2005 Jeep Liberty L4-2.4L and the 1996-1997 Dodge Grand Caravan L4-2.4L, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
The rear main seal sits where the crankshaft exits the rear of the engine block. The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides on the rotating crankshaft, which helps hold engine oil in at that point. Over time a worn or hardened seal can let oil seep past.

Signs this part may need replacing include oil drips or wetness where the engine meets the transmission or transaxle, and an oil level that drops between changes. Other gaskets and seals can leak into the same area, so pin down the source before replacing. Replacement commonly involves removing the transmission or transaxle, so follow the vehicle service information for the procedure. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of fitting vehicles.
