Detailed Description

FAG SS2673 is a wheel seal designed to meet vehicle-specific specifications for front wheel-end service. The seal construction combines a metal case, spring tension, and auxiliary lip with nitrile sealing material to support consistent sealing performance where bearing protection is critical. This part number SS2673 is used in a range of classic front applications, including Mercury Capri, Oldsmobile 98, Oldsmobile Starfire, Cadillac Commercial Chassis, Cadillac DeVille, and Cadillac Eldorado models.

This wheel seal is selected for applications where the seal must help protect the bearing from contamination and reduce grease loss over time. For fitment verification, compare the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original seal and the vehicle’s wheel-end specifications before installation.

This part cross-references Timken 473231 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the bearing area
• Moisture entering the hub assembly
• Premature wear caused by contaminated wheel-end components
• Seal mismatch on front axle service applications

Installation Notes

Confirm the seal dimensions, position, and vehicle application before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or damage, and replace any components that could prevent proper sealing. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly and maintains contact across the lip area.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals using high-quality materials and application-specific specifications to meet vehicle manufacturer requirements. The SS2673 is built to the dimensional and sealing demands of front wheel-end service on the listed classic applications.
