Help keep lubricant in and road grime out at the rear axle with the Schaeffler Differential Seal / Drive Axle Shaft Seal SS4438. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on the 1987-1992 Toyota Supra, 1988-1992 Toyota Cressida, 1990-1992 Lexus LS400, 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 and 2013-2019 Subaru BRZ.
Schaeffler works with its suppliers to design seals that meet its own quality standards and vehicle manufacturer specifications. Seal specifications are demanding, and the correct type depends on the specific application, position and vehicle class.
The seal body stays stationary while its lip contacts the rotating drive axle shaft, helping retain lubricant and block outside contamination. Signs this part may need replacing include lubricant seepage, wet or oily residue around the rear differential or axle shaft area, or drips under the rear of the vehicle. Diagnose the source of any leak before replacing, because other seals or gaskets can cause similar symptoms.
