APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit P/N:ABS333
Reseal the back of the engine with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit (ABS205), a rear main seal set that seals the rear of the crankshaft where it exits the engine block. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus [L4-2.4L], the 1993-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse [L4-2.0L] and 1996-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse [L4-2.4L], the 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring [L4-2.4L], and many Eagle, Plymouth and Mitsubishi models — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years, makes, models and engines.
If a leaking or hardened rear main seal is the cause of oil spots under the vehicle or oil seepage at the back of the engine, this set replaces it. Diagnose the source of the leak before ordering, since oil at the rear of the engine can also come from other gaskets or seals.
What is this APEX ABS205 engine crankshaft seal kit?
It is a rear main seal set that seals the rear of the crankshaft where it passes out of the engine block, helping keep engine oil contained at that location.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for applications such as the 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus [L4-2.4L], 1993-1999 and 1996-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
How does the seal work if the crankshaft turns?
The seal body stays stationary in its bore while its sealing lip contacts the rotating crankshaft, forming the seal at the rear main location.
What are signs the rear main seal may need replacing?
Oil spots under the vehicle and oil seepage at the back of the engine can be signs. Diagnose the leak's source first, as other gaskets or seals can leak in the same area.
How many kits do I need per vehicle?
Quantity per application is 1, so one kit covers the rear main seal replacement for a listed application.
