Seal off oil weeping past the back of the engine with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Rear Main Seal Set (ABS209), a rear crankshaft seal kit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Hyundai, Kia and Mitsubishi V6 engines. This engine crankshaft seal kit sits at the rear of the crankshaft, where the shaft exits the block, to hold engine oil in as the crankshaft turns.
- Rear crankshaft sealing: The seal body stays stationary while its lip rides against the rotating crankshaft, retaining engine oil at the rear of the block.
- Rear position: Cataloged as the REAR seal set for the covered engines.
- Direct-fit application: Serves as a direct-fit replacement for the listed vehicles; one kit covers a single application (quantity per application: 1).
Signs a rear main seal may need replacing include oil drips at the back of the engine near the bell housing, fresh oil spots under a parked vehicle, and a dropping oil level. If a worn rear main seal is the cause of the leak, this set replaces it — diagnose the source first, since nearby gaskets can leak in the same area.
