Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Oil Seal Retainer for the front axle swivel housing assembly. This retaining plate holds the swivel housing oil seal square against the chrome swivel ball, sealing the constant-velocity joint housing and retaining the swivel lubricant.

The plate bolts to the outer face of the swivel housing, clamping the seal so it bears evenly on the ball throughout the steering arc. A worn or distorted retainer allows the seal to lift and leak, so it is renewed whenever the swivel seal is replaced.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RRY500180LR oil seal retainer and what does it do?
The RRY500180LR oil seal retainer is the plate that holds the front axle swivel housing oil seal square against the chrome swivel ball. It clamps the seal so it bears evenly through the steering arc, sealing the CV joint housing and keeping the swivel lubricant in. Genuine Land Rover.
Where on the vehicle is this retainer fitted?
This retainer bolts to the outer face of the front axle swivel housing on the Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic. It sits over the swivel seal where the halfshaft passes through the swivel ball, holding the seal against the chrome ball at each front corner.
When should the swivel oil seal retainer be replaced?
Replace the swivel oil seal retainer whenever you renew the swivel housing oil seal. A worn or distorted plate lets the seal lift off the ball and leak swivel oil, so fitting a fresh retainer with a new seal keeps the joint sealed and the lubricant in.
What's the difference between RRY500180LR and the stainless version?
The RRY500180LR is the genuine Land Rover steel retainer. The RRY500180SS is a stainless-steel version for the 24-spline front axle, which resists the corrosion that can distort a plain steel plate. Choose the retainer that matches your axle type and the finish you want.
