1966-1977 Front Axle Beam Torsion Arm Upper and Lower Seals 131405129 - OEM Number(s) (131-405-129)
Seal out road grime and lock in lubrication with this torsion arm seal set for your VW front axle beam. This complete car set includes upper and lower seals for both the left and right torsion arms, replacing dried-out or cracked originals that can compromise your suspension's long-term reliability. The lower seals are larger, while the upper seals are smaller, just like factory spec.
These seals sit between the torsion arms and the axle beam to keep grease in and dirt and water out. For best results, always replace both upper and lower seals on both sides of the beam during service.
