Detailed Product Description

FAG SS2042 is a wheel seal engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications for the listed applications. The seal is designed around demanding wheel-end requirements, where correct dimensions and sealing material matter for keeping dirt, dust, and moisture away from bearing components while helping preserve grease over the service life of the bearing. This part cross-references Gates 19211 for the same application.

Use SS2042 when servicing rear wheel ends on vehicles such as Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Ram 1500, and Dodge Ram 2500, or when replacing a seal on other listed Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Ram models. The fitment coverage includes rear, rear outer, and N/A-position applications depending on vehicle configuration.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Seal wear during wheel bearing service
• Leakage at the axle or hub sealing surface
• Noise or roughness related to compromised wheel-end lubrication

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bearing inside diameter, bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Match the seal type and vehicle position to the service location, especially on rear axle and rear outer applications. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the bearing and hub components for wear before installing the new seal.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals using high-quality materials and application-specific specifications to meet manufacturer requirements. The SS2042 is built to the dimensional and material standards needed for the listed wheel-end applications.
