Part number: RTC3510
Price is for one seal.
The vast majority of replacement swivel seals for Series (including the ones marked 'OEM') are poorly designed and dimensionally inaccurate. The seal's inner diameter is slightly too wide to seal reliably, especially if the spherical sealing surface of the swivel housing isn't new or in near-new condition.
You might be tempted to fill the swivel housings with a semi-fluid grease (such as that in the Britpart housing kits) to slow leakage past dodgy seals—new or deteriorated—but we don't recommend it. Oil is the lubricant specified by Land Rover for this application, for good reason.
Quality swivel seals that actually work, and can even accommodate light to moderate rust-pitting of the spherical sealing surface with negligible leakage (provided that any pitted areas that the new seal will sweep over are lightly sanded with extra-fine wet and dry sandpaper to restore surface smoothness).
These are the seals we use in our workshop if we need to detach the swivel hub to overhaul or replace the swivel assembly. They're the only ones that we've found to work reliably. If all you need to do is replace the seal, and the spherical sealing surface is only lightly or moderately pitted (see photos here for guidance on this), you can install one of our modified swivel seals without disassembling anything.
