Corteco swivel housing oil seal for Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic
LR059968G is a Corteco OEM swivel housing oil seal for Land Rover front axles using the 9mm swivel seal. It fits Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic models where LR059968, FTC3401 or FRC2889 is specified.
The seal fits around the front swivel housing and is used to retain lubricant around the swivel assembly. Oil weeping around the back of the swivel ball, contamination around the seal edge or strip-down work on the swivel housing are common reasons for replacement.
