EMPI Ball Joint Lower Trailing Arm Seal for VW Beetle & Karmann Ghia

This lower trailing arm seal from EMPI keeps dirt, moisture, and debris out of the front beam cross tube where the trailing arm passes through. Worn or cracked seals allow grit to contaminate the torsion leaf stacks and trailing arm bearings, accelerating wear and causing handling problems.

Made from oil-resistant automotive-grade rubber. Easy to install during trailing arm removal — a smart replacement any time you're doing front end work. Sold individually; most vehicles require two.
