Because Syncro Vanagons are often pushed harder in varied terrain, the crankshaft seals are subjected to significant thermal and mechanical stress. This seal features a high-grade elastomer construction with an internal tension spring to ensure the sealing lip remains perfectly seated against the rotating crankshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eIf you notice oil misting on your vibration damper or oil spots appearing directly under the pulley at the very back of the van, it is likely time to replace this seal.
