FAG SS2582 Wheel Seal - Rear or Rear Inner

Wheel Seal for Chrysler Rear Inner Applications

FAG SS2582 is a wheel seal built for rear inner wheel-end service on select Chrysler vehicles. It is engineered with a metal and spring seal design and polyacrylate sealing material to help keep contamination out of the wheel end while retaining grease at the bearing.

Compatible With 1954-1964 Chrysler Imperial, rear inner; 1957-1964 Chrysler New Yorker, rear inner; 1957-1964 Chrysler Newport, rear inner; and 1957-1964 Chrysler Town & Country, rear inner. This FAG wheel seal, part number SS2582, is sized for applications that require a 2.686 in. bore diameter, 2.69 in. outside diameter, and 1.5 in. width.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2582 is designed for wheel-end sealing where the seal must protect bearings and related components from dirt, dust, and moisture while helping prevent grease loss over the service life of the bearing. The seal construction and dimensions are application-specific, making fitment verification important for Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Chrysler Newport, and Chrysler Town & Country rear inner positions. The SS2582 part number is commonly searched for classic Chrysler rear axle service, especially when replacing a worn or leaking wheel seal.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the rear inner wheel end
• Contamination from road dirt, dust, and moisture
• Wheel bearing wear caused by compromised sealing
• Seal fitment issues on specified Chrysler rear inner applications
• Noisy or rough wheel-end operation related to seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bore diameter, outside diameter, width, and seal type before installation. Match the rear inner position exactly to the vehicle application, since wheel seals are dimension- and location-specific. Inspect the bearing, hub, and sealing surface for wear or damage before installing the new seal, and verify that the seal seats evenly to avoid premature leakage. For Chrysler Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, and Town & Country applications, compare the removed seal to FAG SS2582 and the vehicle service information before assembly.

Quality Assurance

FAG sources wheel seals using materials selected to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and designs them to meet FAG quality standards. The seal is built to the dimensional and performance demands of wheel-end service, where contamination control and grease retention are critical.
