Because Details Matter

Axle seals are a small but critical barrier between clean lubrication and contamination. Replacing a tired or leaking seal with the correct kit restores confidence every time you torque the hub nut down. The feel of a fresh gasket and O-rings seated properly is one of those tactile details that makes your Volkswagen not only roadworthy, but authentically preserved.
