LUBE LOCKER Dana 60 Differential Gasket — Rubber-Coated Metal, Pre-Formed Dry-Install Seal

The Lube Locker Dana 60 Differential Gasket is a pre-formed, rubber-coated metal gasket designed to seal Dana 60 housings without any sealant or adhesives.

If you’re rebuilding, servicing, or upgrading a Dana 60 differential, this gasket offers a ready-to-install replacement that threads precision metal strength with a continuous elastomer bead. Engineered to install dry, it simplifies differential maintenance by eliminating messy RTV, reduces installation time, and resists extrusion and splitting during torque and seating.

How does this gasket simplify differential service?

This gasket is shaped to match Dana 60 housings and comes with a full perimeter elastomer bead that seals when clamped. Because the metal base is coated with a rubber layer, the part compresses evenly and holds its form under bolt torque.

• Dry-install design: no additional sealant needed.
• Uniform elastomer bead for consistent sealing pressure.
• Coated metal core keeps shape and resists deformation.

Will it withstand installation stresses and repeated use?

The gasket is built to resist splitting and extrusion during assembly, so it survives the clamping and re-torquing steps common in differential work. Its metal base provides dimensional stability while the rubber coating protects the sealing surface.

• Metal core prevents collapse under bolt load.
• Rubber coating protects mating surfaces and improves conformity.
• Designed to remain intact through installation cycles.

What are the material features that matter for Dana 60 applications?

A rubber-coated metal construction combines the strengths of both materials: the metal holds profile and alignment while the elastomer creates a continuous sealing surface. The full-perimeter bead targets potential leak paths around the housing joint.

• Metal base for rigidity and accurate flange fit.
• Elastomer beading for continuous, compressible sealing.
• Durable coating to reduce abrasion and surface damage.

How should I prepare the housing before installing this gasket?

Clean both flange surfaces thoroughly to remove old gasket residue, oil, and debris to ensure even compression and a good seal. Because this gasket is meant to be installed dry, making surfaces flat and free of contaminants is particularly important for performance.

• Scrape and clean mating surfaces of old material and oil.
• Check flange faces for burrs or high spots and lightly dress if needed.
• Install gasket dry, then torque bolts in a crisscross pattern to spec.

Who is this for: The Lube Locker Dana 60 Differential Gasket suits professional mechanics, experienced DIYers, and off-road enthusiasts working on Dana 60 rear or front differentials who want a reliable, ready-to-install gasket that avoids sealant mess and stands up to installation stresses. It’s ideal for axle rebuilds, routine maintenance, and axle upgrades where a precise fit and a clean installation process are priorities.
