Part numbers for mk7 needed.

Postby riauba » Sun Dec 28, 2025 1:33 pm

Hello, guys. Have 2012 l2 h2 t350 fwd transit with euro 5 engine. Driveshaft seal on the drivers side started to leak and was looking for a new one, eurocarparts, or gsf they both giving me seal that has inner and outer diameter too small, and their systems doesn't list any bigger diameter seals. Also van had acvident and front shock was replaced, and i think it was replaced with absorber from swb low roof, because van on passengers side sitting lower than drivers side, and spring replacement didn't improve the thing, so i beloeve shocks are different lenghts? Ford dealer not an option for me at the moment. So asking you maybe anyone got access to ford parts catalogue and give me the right size seal and shock absorber numbers?

Take a look at catcar.info. Use the drop down menus to select what van and variant you have and you should be able to get ford part numbers for whatever you need.

It can be a bit finicky at times and needs to be refreshed/reloaded.

The seals usually have their size written on them....just take it to a bearing/seal supply and they'll match it up.

Gave up for a while. But even transit ctalogue gives 1 only option with the too small size the inner size of seal they selling is ~40mm diameter, and my seals are around 50mm.

Ford Pn: for the FWD 6 speed VMT6 is 1490305 (42.7mm x 60.3mm x 12mm)

The 5 speed VXT75 seal Pn: 1543933 (40mm x 55mm x 12mm) and is obviously different to the 6 speed.

For your Ford Transit MK7 FWD, the parts you need depend on the heavy-duty T350 chassis. Standard parts often fail because they are designed for lighter models. The correct driveshaft seal is Ford Part No. 1490305 (Engineering No. 8C1R-3K169-AA). Unlike the smaller seals found at common retailers, this version has a 40mm inner diameter and 55mm/62mm outer diameter. It is specific to the 6-speed VMT6 gearbox used in Euro 5 front-wheel-drive models. Regarding the shock absorbers, you are correct. The T350 L2H2 uses a heavy-duty strut (Ford Part No. 1769144). SWB low-roof models often use a shorter strut, which explains the uneven ride height. Ensure the new strut is rated for the 350 series to match the driver's side.

was under the impression the longer strut only sat through the knuckle more but from knuckle to spring seat remained the same length??
