Valve Stem Seals

Most modern day vehicles are powered by an overhead cam engine which consists of cylinders, valves, shafts, guides and many other smaller parts. Valve stem seals are one of the smaller parts to the engine. Valve stem seals are important because they improve engine operation and the emissions quality in engines that are in heavy […]

Axle Seals

Engine Oil Seals

Two of the most important seals in an internal combustion engine are the front and rear engine oil seal. They are also known by other names, such as crankshaft seal and transmission seal. They keep the engine oil from leaking out of the crankcase and prevent contaminants from entering the engine. They are made from […]

Wheel Bearing Seals

The wheel bearings support two very important jobs for a vehicle's suspension. They allow wheels to rotate with minimal friction as well as support the weight of the vehicle on top of them while in use.

Rear Axle Seals

The rear axle seals are large rings that stop the oil inside the rear axle housing from leaking out. There is one seal for each rear wheel, located just in front of the axle bearing. The seals are long lasting but they can fail if worn bearings allow the shafts to deform them. Another cause […]
