Detailed Description

This FAG SS2597 wheel seal is engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications for the wheel end. It is designed for rear inner use on select Dodge B100, B200, B300, D100, D150, D200, W100, W150, W200, Ramcharger, Challenger, Charger, Monaco, and Dart models, as well as Chrysler 300, Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, Town & Country, and related applications. If you are servicing a Dodge Charger rear inner wheel seal or a Chrysler Newport rear inner wheel seal, SS2597 provides the dimensional and material match needed for the application.

FAG part number SS2597 is built to protect wheel end components from contamination and to help prevent grease loss over the life of the bearing. The seal specifications are application-specific, so matching the position, axle setup, and dimensions is important when replacing a worn seal.

What This Part Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and road moisture
• Noise or roughness caused by compromised bearing lubrication
• Seal wear from age, heat, and mileage
• Incorrect replacement seal dimensions for rear inner applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear inner position, axle configuration, and seal dimensions before installation. Confirm bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width against the removed part or service information. Clean the hub and bearing area thoroughly before pressing in the new seal, and inspect the bearing surfaces for wear or damage that could affect sealing performance. For Dodge and Chrysler rear axle service, matching the exact application is critical.
