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 does the FTC3276 front drive shaft oil seal do?
The FTC3276 is the front driveshaft oil seal at the swivel pin housing on the Land Rover Defender (up to 2016) and Discovery 1. It runs on the front driveshaft where it passes through the inner swivel ball, sealing in axle and swivel lubricant and keeping out water, dirt and grit.
How many FTC3276 seals are needed for the job?
Two FTC3276 seals are fitted per vehicle, one on each side, so order two for a complete front-axle job. They're typically renewed whenever the swivel housing is stripped or the constant-velocity joint is serviced.
What happens if the front drive shaft seal fails?
A failed FTC3276 seal lets swivel and axle oil escape and allows water and grit into the joint, which typically accelerates wear of the swivel and constant-velocity joint. Oil weeping around the swivel housing or a dropping axle oil level usually signals replacement is due.
How do I confirm the FTC3276 fits my vehicle?
The FTC3276 fits the Defender up to 2016 and Discovery 1. On 2007-2016 Defenders it applies from VIN 7A000001, and on non-ABS Discovery 1 from VIN JA032851. Check your VIN against these breaks to confirm the correct axle variant.
