Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Drive Shaft Oil Seal - Front, fitted at the front axle swivel pin housing.

This radial lip seal runs on the front driveshaft where it passes through the inner swivel housing ball, retaining the axle and swivel lubricant and excluding water, dirt and grit from the joint. A worn seal allows oil loss and contaminant ingress, accelerating swivel and constant-velocity joint wear.

Two are fitted per vehicle, one on each side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC3276 front drive shaft oil seal for?
The FTC3276 front drive shaft oil seal sits at the front axle swivel pin housing, running on the driveshaft where it passes through the inner swivel ball. It retains the axle and swivel lubricant and keeps water, dirt and grit out of the joint. This is the Genuine Land Rover seal.
How many front drive shaft seals are fitted?
Two front drive shaft oil seals are fitted per vehicle, one on each side. It's good practice to renew both at once, since they typically wear at a similar rate and the access is the same job on each side.
What happens if the drive shaft oil seal fails?
A failed drive shaft oil seal lets swivel and axle oil leak out while letting water and grit in, which typically accelerates wear on the swivel and constant-velocity joint. Signs include oil weeping at the swivel housing. Replace it during a swivel overhaul or as soon as leakage shows.
Which models and VIN ranges does this seal fit?
This front seal fits the Land Rover Defender (1986-2016, from VIN 7A000001 on 2007-2016 models) and Discovery 1 (1989-1998). On non-ABS Discovery 1 it applies from VIN JA032851 with the 24-spline axle. Use your VIN to confirm the axle type.
