Detailed Description

FAG SS2144 is a transfer case shift shaft seal engineered to the dimensional and material requirements of specific 4x4 driveline applications. The nitrile sealing material, supported by a metal case, spring, and auxiliary lip, is selected to maintain sealing performance at the shift shaft interface where contamination and fluid retention are critical.
