FAG SS2645 Drive Axle Shaft Seal - Front Outer, Outer or Rear

Drive Axle Shaft Seal for Select Honda and Acura Applications

The FAG SS2645 drive axle shaft seal is built for wheel-end sealing where contamination control and grease retention matter. It uses a nitrile sealing material with a metal spring and auxiliary lip design to help keep dirt, dust, and moisture out of the bearing area while maintaining seal integrity over time.

Compatible with select Honda Civic, Honda Prelude, Acura Legend, and Volkswagen Corrado applications, this seal is specified for outer and front outer positions where exact dimensions are critical. The FAG SS2645 is a direct-fit style seal for vehicles that require a 59.995 mm bore diameter, 60.147 mm outside diameter, and 8.001 mm width.

Detailed Description

The metal spring helps maintain sealing contact, while the auxiliary lip adds another barrier against contamination. Its nitrile construction supports reliable sealing performance in driveline and axle service.

It is a strong match for service work on Honda Civic, Honda Prelude, and Acura Legend wheel-end assemblies when the original seal specification calls for this size and design. The FAG SS2645 also appears in applications such as 1985-1991 Honda Civic, outer; 1988-1991 Honda Prelude, front outer; and 1986-1990 Acura Legend, outer.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing or axle seal area
• Contamination from road dirt and dust
• Moisture intrusion around the wheel end
• Seal wear caused by incorrect fitment or dimension mismatch
• Noisy or rough wheel-end operation related to seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions, position, and vehicle application before installation. Clean the bore and shaft sealing surface thoroughly, and inspect for grooves, corrosion, or damage that could affect sealing performance. Proper seating is important for the FAG SS2645, especially on Honda Civic and Honda Prelude outer positions where the seal must match the original specification exactly.
