Diff Cover Gaskets
Differential cover gaskets seal the interface between the diff cover and housing, keeping gear oil contained and preventing leaks that can lead to premature bearing wear or total axle failure. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket during a fluid change is straightforward preventive maintenance for any rear-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle.Popular Diff Cover Gasket TypesOptions include reusable silicone gaskets for Dana 44 and Dana 60 axles, OEM-replacement rubber gaskets for GM 10-bolt and 12-bolt differentials, and RTV-sealant-compatible paper gaskets for Ford 8.8 and 9-inch applications. Billet diff cover upgrades often include a matching formed gasket or integrated seal surface.How do I know when my diff cover gasket needs replacement?Signs include gear oil seeping around the cover perimeter, a low diff fluid level with no other visible leak source, or contamination around the cover bolts. Inspect the gasket surface any time you drop the cover for a fluid change or ring-and-pinion ...
