The component is made from reinforced plastic. It protects the seals of the transfer case from external contaminants, thereby ensuring a longer lifespan for them.<\/p>\n
The slinger acts as a primary shield against dirt, dust, and moisture. By deflecting external contaminants away from the shaft seals, it prevents premature wear and oil leaks, significantly extending the lifespan of your transfer case internals.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n It is highly recommended to replace the slinger whenever you service the seals. Since this part is made of reinforced plastic, it can become brittle over time or get damaged during removal. A new slinger ensures a tight fit and optimal protection.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n This slinger is made from high-grade reinforced plastic because it is 100% corrosion-resistant. Unlike metal components, it won’t rust when exposed to road salt or heavy moisture, which is crucial for protecting the delicate rubber seals behind it.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n This component is specifically designed for the PL72 ATC transfer case, which is commonly found in Porsche Cayenne (92A) models. To be certain, check the identification tag on your transfer case housing for the ‘PL72 ATC’ designation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n While the slinger itself doesn’t hold oil, a damaged or missing one allows grit and grime to reach the main seals. This debris eventually scores the seal surface, leading to the oil leaks often seen in Cayenne transfer cases.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\nCan I reuse my old slinger when replacing the transfer case seals?<\/summary>\n
