Detailed Description

FAG SS2290 is designed for wheel-end sealing where the axle shaft passes through the hub area. The seal helps protect bearing and driveline components from dirt, dust, and moisture while retaining grease over the life of the bearing. Its specified dimensions and nitrile sealing element make it a direct-match service part for select Ford front left applications, including Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, Ford Aerostar, and Ford Expedition models listed below. This FAG SS2290 seal is a practical replacement when servicing a Ford Ranger front left axle seal or a Ford Bronco II front left drive axle shaft seal.

Common Issues This Seal Can Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, or moisture entering the hub area
• Wear from a damaged or hardened axle shaft seal
• Service replacement for a leaking front left drive axle shaft seal
• Noise or bearing damage related to poor wheel-end sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, front left position, and axle ratio before ordering. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original seal specification, and inspect the sealing surface for wear or scoring before installation. Clean the hub and axle area thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly and maintains proper contact.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain FAG quality standards. The seal construction is intended for demanding wheel-end service where contamination control and grease retention are critical.
