Detailed Description

FAG SS2546 is a wheel seal engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications using high-quality materials selected for wheel end sealing demands. The metal and spring design supports consistent sealing pressure, while the nitrile sealing element helps maintain a barrier against contamination and grease loss. This makes SS2546 a practical choice when replacing a worn wheel seal on applications such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla wheel end assemblies, where correct dimensions are critical.

This part cross-references National 480991 and Remy 14864 for the same application. When comparing replacement options, verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width against the original seal to confirm proper fit. FAG SS2546 is also referenced by part number SS2546 in catalogs and service listings.

What It Helps Solve

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination from road dirt and dust
• Moisture intrusion around the bearing area
• Premature wear caused by poor sealing
• Seal replacement needs during wheel bearing service

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the hub and seal bore thoroughly before installation. Inspect the bearing, spindle, and sealing surface for scoring or corrosion, since seal performance depends on a smooth mating surface. Confirm the seal dimensions match the original part number SS2546 application before pressing the seal into place. Use proper installation tools to avoid distorting the seal lip or metal case.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain quality standards for wheel end sealing components. SS2546 is built around application-specific dimensions and materials to support reliable service in demanding driveline and axle environments.
