FAG SS2072 Wheel Seal - Front Inner or Rear Inner

Wheel Seal for Subaru and Saab Applications

FAG SS2072 is a wheel seal built for front inner and rear outer wheel-end service on select Subaru and Saab vehicles. It uses nitrile sealing material with a rubber spring and auxiliary lip design to help keep contamination out and grease in at the bearing.

Compatible With 1990-2008 Subaru Legacy, Forester, Impreza, Outback, and Baja applications, plus 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X front inner positions. The FAG SS2072 wheel seal is sized for the specified bore, seal outside diameter, and seal width to match the intended wheel-end setup.

Key Features

• Part number: SS2072
• Wheel seal for driveline and axle sealing service
• Nitrile sealing material for wheel-end use
• Rubber, spring, and auxiliary lip seal type
• Designed to help protect wheel-end components from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Helps retain grease at the bearing over service life
• Fits front inner and rear outer positions listed below

Detailed Description

FAG SS2072 is engineered to meet vehicle-specific wheel seal requirements for Subaru and Saab wheel-end assemblies. The seal dimensions include a 2.846 in bore diameter, 2.858 in seal outside diameter, and 2.205 in seal width, with a 0.63 in bearing inside diameter. These measurements matter for proper sealing performance and correct seating in the hub or bearing assembly. If you are replacing a worn Subaru Forester wheel seal, Subaru Impreza front inner seal, or Subaru Legacy front inner seal, this part number is built for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Gates 22026 for the same application.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel bearing
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and road moisture
• Noise caused by a worn or damaged seal at the wheel end
• Premature bearing wear from loss of lubrication
• Seal fitment issues when replacing an OE-style wheel seal on Subaru and Saab models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the position before ordering, since this seal is listed for front inner and rear outer applications depending on vehicle and model year. Confirm the bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width against the original seal before installation. Clean the hub and bearing area thoroughly, inspect the bearing for wear, and replace any damaged sealing surfaces before pressing in the new seal.
