MAHLE Axle Housing Cover Gasket P/N:P38163TC
MAHLE P27139TC rear axle housing cover gasket for the 1979-2004 Ford Mustang and other vehicles seals the joint between the axle housing and its cover, so the fluid stays inside the housing.
Fluid seeping along the cover edge or a damp, grimy rear axle housing can mean the gasket has failed. A wet housing alone does not prove the gasket is at fault, since a leaking axle shaft seal can leave the same mess.
The fit includes the 1985-1987 Ford Ranger and many other vehicles. A 1984-2000 Lincoln Town Car takes one gasket.
