FAG SS2036 Wheel Seal - Front or Rear

Wheel Seal for OE-Style Wheel End Protection

The FAG SS2036 wheel seal is built for wheel end service where contamination control and grease retention matter. It is designed with a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip, plus nitrile sealing material to help protect bearing components in demanding driveline and axle applications.

Compatible With Nissan Armada, TITAN, TITAN XD, Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, and select INFINITI and BMW applications, this seal is sized for precise wheel end fitment. The FAG SS2036 is also cross-referenced to National 1973 and Gates 18877 for the same application.

Detailed Description

FAG engineers its wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications using materials selected for wheel end durability and sealing consistency. The SS2036 is designed to keep dirt, dust, and moisture out of the wheel end while helping retain grease over the life of the bearing. Its dimensions and seal construction make it a direct-fit choice for a wide range of applications, including 2017-2020 Nissan Armada, 2017-2019 Nissan TITAN, 2016-2019 Nissan TITAN XD, 2005-2014 Nissan Frontier, 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra, and 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder.

This part also serves select INFINITI models such as Q50, Q60, Q70, Q70L, QX70, QX80, FX45, FX50, G25, G35, G37, M35, M37, M45, M56, and QX56, along with BMW 325i, 325is, 325iX, 325e, 325es, 525i, 528e, Volkswagen Vanagon, Mercury Tracer, Lincoln Continental, Porsche 928, and Saab 900 applications listed in the fitment data. Part number SS2036 is a practical OE-style replacement when the original wheel seal is worn, hardened, or leaking.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and road moisture
• Noise or roughness caused by compromised bearing lubrication
• Seal wear from age, heat, and mileage
• Wheel end service on vehicles with matching OE dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, seal width, and bearing inside diameter before installation. Clean the hub and bearing surfaces thoroughly, inspect the bearing and spindle for wear, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering, especially on Nissan Armada, TITAN, and Pathfinder platforms where multiple wheel end configurations may exist.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet manufacturer specifications and uses supplier-developed construction standards aligned with its quality requirements. The SS2036 is built for wheel end sealing performance in demanding service conditions.
