APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit P/N:ABS333
Help keep engine oil sealed in at the back of the crankshaft with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Crankshaft Seal Kit / Rear Main Seal Set ABS425. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2000-2004 Ford Focus 2.0L, 1991-2008 Ford Ranger 3.0L and 1986-2007 Ford Taurus 3.0L. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A worn or hardened rear main seal can let oil seep out where the engine meets the transmission. Signs this part may need replacing include oil drips at that joint, oil on the bellhousing or oil pan edge, and an oil level that drops between changes. Other seals and gaskets in that area can also leak, so diagnose the leak source before replacing the seal. Replacement usually requires separating the transmission from the engine. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
