Detailed Description

FAG SS2154 is a steering gear worm shaft seal engineered for precise sealing dimensions in classic steering gear service. The metal-backed seal construction and nitrile sealing material are selected to help maintain a tight seal at the worm shaft area, where steering gear fluid retention and contamination control are critical. This seal is listed for 1961-1982 GM passenger car applications, including Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet El Camino, Buick Skylark, and Oldsmobile Cutlass models in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Bosch 7415 for the same application. When servicing a Chevrolet Corvette steering gear, Camaro steering gear, or El Camino steering gear, confirm the seal dimensions and application notes against the original steering gear specification before installation. The FAG SS2154 part number appears in interchange references for related OE-style steering gear sealing service.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Steering gear fluid leakage at the worm shaft area
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the steering gear
• Loss of lubricant from the steering gear assembly
• Wear related to aged or hardened steering gear seals
• Service replacement for original steering gear worm shaft seal applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the seal matches the steering gear housing. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the worm shaft and housing for wear, scoring, or corrosion that could affect sealing performance. Use the vehicle’s steering gear specification and the listed notes for 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette, 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, 1968 Chevrolet El Camino, 1961-1963 Buick Skylark, and 1961-1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass applications.

For best results, compare the removed seal to FAG SS2154 and confirm the steering gear configuration matches the Global Number 413 2154 100 reference before assembly.
