1950-1979 Rear Axle Seal Kit Swing Axle or I.R.S. One Side 111598051A - OEM Number(s) (111-598-051-A)

Stop transmission oil leaks at the rear hub on your 1950-1979 air-cooled Volkswagen with this quality rear axle seal kit, the correct one-side service kit for both Swing Axle and IRS rear suspension applications.

If your Volkswagen's rear hubs are leaking, the first step is identifying the fluid — transmission oil or brake fluid. If it is transmission oil, this quality rear axle seal kit is the correct fix. (If it is brake fluid, the leak is usually a leaking wheel cylinder rather than an axle seal.)

This kit services one side of the rear axle and works on both Swing Axle and IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) configurations across the air-cooled VW lineup. Includes everything needed to properly reseal one rear hub.

Kit Includes:

Grease seal
Washer
Two O-rings
Two paper gaskets
Cotter pin

Because Details Matter: A leaking rear axle seal means transmission oil ending up where it should not be — on the brakes, on the ground, and out of the transaxle where it needs to stay. The fix is straightforward when you have the right kit, and this complete one-side service kit gives you every piece needed to do the job correctly — seal, washer, O-rings, paper gaskets, and cotter pin. Stop the leak, refill the transaxle, and your VW gets back to driving the way it should.
