This is a fiber differential cover gasket sized and punched for Ford 7.5" 10-bolt rear axle housings. It's a direct replacement for a leaking, damaged, or missing cover gasket on compatible Ford 7.5" axle applications, providing a reliable fiber seal between the differential cover and the axle housing sealing rail during cover reinstallation, fluid changes, or cover upgrades.

Fiber Gasket Cut for the Ford 7.5" 10-Bolt Cover Pattern
This fiber differential cover gasket is punched to match the 10-bolt pattern of Ford 7.5" rear axle housings, giving you a clean, leak-resistant seal between the differential cover and the axle housing sealing rail during cover reinstallation or replacement.
