VW Rear Swing Axle Viton (FKM) Basic Seal Kit

Upgrade your Volkswagen's performance with our premium VW Swing Axle Rear Basic Seal Kit, engineered for precision, durability, and superior sealing. Sold per axle.

This kit includes:

1 FKM TC Seal

Crafted from high-quality Fluoroelastomer (FKM), this TC (dual lip) seal features a primary lip to prevent oil leakage and a secondary dust lip to block contaminants, ensuring exceptional protection for your swing axle. The 44.5mm inner diameter is specifically sized to fit stock VW axle spacers, providing a precise and reliable seal (VW Part Number: 111 501 315H).

FKM offers significant advantages over silicone, Buna, and nitrile, including superior resistance to high temperatures (up to 400°F / 204°C), harsh chemicals, and synthetic oils. Unlike silicone, which can swell or degrade under oil exposure, FKM maintains its integrity, reducing wear and extending service life.

Note: Always measure your axle spacer and cross-check with the seal dimensions to confirm compatibility, as many kits include incorrectly sized seals and/or spacers that lead to failure.

Large and Small FKM O-Rings

Made from the same robust FKM material, these o-rings deliver exceptional sealing performance under extreme conditions, preventing leaks and extending the life of your rear axle assembly (VW Part Numbers: 111 598 051 for the large O-ring, 111 598 051A for the small O-ring). The FKM composition ensures greater resilience against heat, oil, and abrasion compared to inferior materials.

Fitment

Ideal for classic VW enthusiasts and mechanics working on VW Type 1 Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, and other swing axle models. Seal kit is sold per axle.
