- Stiff Steering Wheel Difficulty turning the steering wheel can suggest a lack of fluid or a failing power steering pump.
- Replacing the spark plug O-ring is a relatively simple task that can be done by a trained mechanic or DIY enthusiast. The new O-ring should be lubricated with a small amount of oil before installation to ensure a proper seal. It is also important to tighten the spark plug to the correct torque specifications to prevent any leaks or issues with the seal.


Use the right assembly tools
Storage and Handling
• Fluorine rubber
VMQ, also known as silicone, is also used for oil seals, but this is less common because the mechanical strength of VMQ is low and this material has poor wear-resistance This makes it less suitable for dynamic applications, but it can withstand fairly low and high temperatures from -60 °C to 200 °C. Many types of VMQ are also suitable for contact with pharmaceutical and food products, so VMQ is an option worth considering. VMQ oil seals are usually available on request.
Oil seals are used in any industrial application that has a rotating or moving part assembly. This includes:
In addition to the installation procedure, our specialists and suppliers would also like to draw your attention to some cases that occur around oil seals.

ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
Oil seal type or shape
Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
New spark plugs are integral to the efficient operation of the engine, playing a critical role in igniting the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chambers. Over time, spark plugs can become worn or fouled, leading to decreased engine performance, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency. Replacing old spark plugs with new ones is essential for maintaining optimal engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions control. High-quality new spark plugs contribute to reliable ignition, smooth engine operation, and reduced environmental impact.
