GMC Canyon Differential Seal

GMC Canyon Differential Seal protects the axle gears by keeping lubricating oil inside the differential and preventing water, dust, and grit from getting inside. Seated around the pinion or axle shafts, the Differential Seal creates a tight synthetic rubber lip that flexes with the rotation of the shaft while maintaining constant contact so gear oil can stay at the correct level and heat can be maintained. Because this Differential Seal holds oil, friction remains low. Over the years, GMC fitted Canyon trucks with seals tailored to both open and limited slip differentials, the two gear sets offered on this model. Open diff versions utilize a standard single lip design that is dependent on uniform pressure due to the torque being split evenly, while on the other hand, limited slip units have a more robust dual lip seal that is supported by spring tension to cope with the additional clutch pack load and unequal power distribution. Routine inspections of the Differential Seal every 3,000 miles catch early wear. When cracks or leaks occur, rapid replacement of the Differential Seal keeps every GMC Canyon driver cornering smoothly and gears unharmed, which is the greatly high level of GMC reliability and predictable GMC Canyon performance.

Each OEM GMC Canyon Differential Seal we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
