Though small, link pin seals play a vital role in suspension longevity. Over time, age, heat cycles, and road contamination cause seals to harden, crack, or shrink, allowing grease to escape and contaminants to enter the suspension joint. Replacing worn seals is essential to maintaining correct steering feel, suspension geometry, and long-term component health on your classic Porsche 356.

What Does a Porsche 356 Link Pin Seal Do?

The front suspension link pin seal sits at the outer ends of the link pins, forming a protective barrier between the suspension joint and the external environment. Its purpose is to:

• Retain grease within the link pin assembly
• Prevent ingress of water, grit, and road debris
• Reduce wear on link pins and bushes
• Maintain smooth, controlled front suspension movement

Without an effective seal, metal-on-metal wear accelerates rapidly, leading to looseness, uneven tyre wear, and compromised steering precision.

Why Do Front Suspension Link Pin Seals Fail?

On Porsche 356 models, link pin seals commonly fail due to:

• Age-related rubber hardening and cracking
• Grease contamination and degradation
• Long-term storage without maintenance
• Exposure to moisture and road debris

Even low-mileage vehicles are prone to seal failure simply due to age. Original or old replacement seals may no longer provide adequate protection, making proactive replacement essential during suspension servicing or restoration work.

When Should You Replace Porsche 356 Link Pin Seals?

You should replace the Porsche 356 front suspension link pin seals when:

• Performing a front suspension rebuild or overhaul
• Replacing link pins, bushes, or king pins
• Grease leakage is visible around the link pin area
• Steering feels vague or inconsistent
• Restoring or recommissioning a long-stored vehicle

Replacing seals early helps prevent costly suspension wear and preserves the original driving characteristics Porsche 356 models are renowned for.

At Design911, we supply high-quality Porsche suspension components to support accurate restorations and reliable classic driving.

This, the hook must be screwed into the thread provided at the factory in the front or rear bumper. For secure fastening, the hook should be screwed in using a screwdriver inserted through the hook eyelet, for example. The supplied spacer rings are used to align the loop horizontally. As required, one or more of the washers are screwed on as far as they will go onto the thread of the hook before fitting.

Note: The towing loop must not be attached when driving on public roads. Likewise, use for towing the vehicle on public roads is not permitted. The recovery process itself must be carried out by trained personnel. When doing so, make sure that the tensile forces are applied in the direction of the hook, never vertically to this. Jerky loads must also be avoided. The towing loop is not suitable for securing the vehicle on a recovery vehicle or car transport trailer. Improper handling can result in injury or damage to the towing loop or vehicle.

Function:
•  Circulates coolant throughout the engine cooling system.
•  Supports stable engine operating temperatures to prevent thermal stress.
•  Facilitates heat exchange between the engine and radiator.
•  Protects the engine from temperature-related wear and heat-induced failure.
•  Often includes the pump impeller, shaft, bearings, and seal optimized for longevity and performance.

A failing water pump can lead to coolant leaks, overheating, strange noises from the drive area, and eventually engine damage if not addressed.

The engine water pump is a critical component in maintaining the performance and durability of your Porsche’s engine. Because it constantly circulates coolant, its bearings and internal seals are subject to wear over time. A failing pump can lead to:
•  Coolant leakage
•  Overheating engine
•  Erratic temperature gauge readings
•  Unusual noises from the cooling system
•  Increased stress on the thermostat and radiator.

When to replace. Replace the water pump when:
•  There is visible coolant leakage around the pump or weep hole
•  The engine overheats or cooling performance degrades
•  You hear noise or roughness from the pump area
•  You are servicing the cooling system or replacing the timing belt/drive components
•  The pump shows age-related wear or operational irregularities
•  Timely replacement helps avoid costly engine damage and ensures reliable heat management.

This premium OE Match seal ring (also referred to as a crush washer or gasket) is engineered to the correct inner/outer diameters and material thickness used by Porsche on multiple model platforms.

The seal ring is ideal for use during every oil change where the drain plug has been removed and reinstalled, and whenever the original ring shows signs of compression set, distortion, corrosion, or damage. This OE Match version delivers a direct fit and consistent sealing performance comparable to the factory-specified part.

The oil drain plug seal ring sits between the oil drain plug head and the engine oil pan surface. When the drain plug is torqued to specification, the seal ring compresses slightly to form a fluid-tight barrier, preventing engine oil from escaping the sump under pressure or vibration. A proper seal helps maintain correct oil levels and prevents messy leaks on the road or in the garage.

Function: Installed each time the engine oil drain plug is removed, the seal ring is “crushed” into place during installation, creating an even seal around the drain hole. Its function is critical because even small oil leaks can lead to reduced oil levels, potential engine damage, and contamination of suspension or exhaust components. The OE Match ring reproduces the original’s sealing surface characteristics so that torque and compression behavior remain within factory-designed tolerances.

Oil drain plug seal rings are single-use sealing components that deform each time the plug is installed. Reusing an old or compressed ring can lead to oil drips or leaks, especially under heat cycling and vibration. A proper OE Match seal ring ensures a dependable oil-tight seal, helping to preserve engine lubrication integrity, avoid oil loss, and protect against environmental contamination.

When to replace:
•  Every time the **oil drain plug is removed”
•  If existing seal ring shows cracks, flattening, or corrosion
•  When performing routine oil and filter service
•  After discovering minor oil seepage at the drain plug
•  During engine maintenance or oil pan removal
