FAG SS2274 Wheel Seal - Rear

Overview of FAG SS2274 Wheel Seal

The FAG SS2274 wheel seal is engineered for reliable sealing performance in driveline and axle applications. Designed with a metal spring and nitrile sealing material, this wheel seal ensures durability and effective protection against contaminants.

• Seal Type: Metal with spring for secure fit
• Sealing Material: Nitrile for resistance to oils and wear
• Bore Diameter: 2.031 inches (51.587 mm)
• Seal Outside Diameter: 2.035 inches (51.689 mm)
• Seal Width: 1.175 inches (12.7 mm)

Technical Details and Specifications

The FAG SS2274 wheel seal features precise dimensions critical for proper fitment and sealing efficiency. The bore diameter measures 2.031 inches, while the outside diameter is 2.035 inches, providing a tight seal around the axle shaft. The seal width of 1.175 inches ensures adequate surface contact to prevent leakage. Constructed with a metal spring, the seal maintains consistent pressure against the shaft, while the nitrile sealing material offers resistance to heat, oil, and abrasion commonly encountered in automotive driveline systems.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This wheel seal is compatible with various makes and models requiring a 2.031-inch bore diameter and 2.035-inch outside diameter seal. It is commonly used in driveline and axle assemblies of passenger cars and light trucks where reliable sealing is essential to maintain axle integrity and prevent lubricant loss.

Common Issues Addressed by FAG SS2274 Wheel Seal

• Prevents axle lubricant leaks that can cause premature wear
• Protects driveline components from dirt and moisture intrusion
• Reduces risk of seal failure due to heat and friction
• Maintains proper axle shaft alignment by ensuring a secure seal
• Minimizes contamination-related driveline damage

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the FAG SS2274 wheel seal, ensure the sealing surface and bore are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the seal during installation. Verify the seal orientation matches the original part, with the metal spring side facing outward to maintain proper tension. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with compatible grease to facilitate installation and initial operation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

FAG manufactures the SS2274 wheel seal to meet stringent quality standards for automotive sealing components. The use of nitrile material and metal spring construction ensures durability under typical operating conditions. While specific warranty details depend on the distributor, FAG products generally come with manufacturer-backed quality assurance to support reliable performance in driveline applications.
