Wheel Seal for Subaru Rear Inner Applications

FAG SS2049 is a wheel seal built for rear inner wheel-end service on select Subaru and Saab applications. It is engineered with a metal case, auxiliary lip, and nitrile sealing material to help keep contamination out of the wheel end and retain grease at the bearing.

Compatible With 1998-2008 Subaru Forester rear inner, 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza rear inner, 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X rear inner, and additional Subaru Legacy rear inner and rear outer applications listed below. FAG SS2049 is a direct-fit sealing component for specific wheel bearing assemblies.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2049 wheel seal is designed to protect wheel-end components from dirt, dust, and moisture while helping prevent grease loss over the life of the bearing. The seal dimensions and material selection are matched to demanding wheel seal applications, where the correct fit depends on vehicle class, position, and bearing setup. This makes it a practical choice for Subaru Forester rear inner wheel seal replacement, Subaru Impreza rear inner service, and Saab 9-2X rear inner applications that call for this specification. The part number SS2049 also cross-references National 710226 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify the bearing inside diameter, bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle requires a rear inner or rear outer seal, since both positions appear in the fitment data for Subaru Legacy applications. Clean the hub and bearing surfaces thoroughly before pressing the seal into place to help maintain proper sealing contact.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals using high-quality materials and works with suppliers to meet manufacturer specifications. The SS2049 is built to the dimensional and material requirements expected for wheel-end sealing service on the listed Subaru and Saab applications.
