Detailed Description

FAG SS2617 is a drive axle shaft seal engineered for front wheel-end use where contamination control and grease retention are critical. The nitrile sealing material and rubber auxiliary-lip construction are selected to help maintain a stable seal at the axle shaft, reducing exposure of bearing components to road debris and moisture. This seal is used in front applications for 2004-2013 Chevrolet Colorado, 2004-2012 GMC Canyon, 2006-2010 Hummer H3, 2009-2010 Hummer H3T, 2007-2008 Isuzu i-370, and 2006 Isuzu i-350. This part cross-references National 710548 and Quality-Built 15691 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Seal wear that can affect axle shaft protection
• Front hub and bearing area exposure on Colorado, Canyon, and H3 platforms
• Noise or roughness caused by compromised wheel-end sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions and vehicle application before installation. Inspect the axle shaft, bore, and surrounding sealing surfaces for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since damaged surfaces can shorten seal life. Clean the mating area thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. For front axle service on Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon models, verify the correct position and dimensions against the original part before assembly.

Quality Assurance

FAG wheel seals are engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and are designed with high-quality materials for wheel-end sealing performance. The SS2617 follows FAG quality standards for front axle shaft seal applications.
