Detailed Description

FAG engineers wheel-end seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications, using materials selected for demanding axle and bearing environments. The SS2692 is designed to protect wheel end components from contamination and reduce grease loss over the life of the bearing. This makes it a practical choice for rear axle service on applications such as Ford Mustang rear, Ford Thunderbird rear, Lincoln LS rear inner, and Jaguar S-Type rear.

This part number, SS2692, is also referenced in OE-style interchange listings for multiple rear axle applications. If you are servicing a Ford Mustang rear axle seal or replacing a rear inner seal on a Lincoln LS, confirm the dimensions and position before installation.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the axle shaft or wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and road moisture
• Premature wear in wheel end bearings and related components
• Seal failure caused by incorrect size or profile
• Rear axle service needs on listed Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Jaguar vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal type, bore diameter, outside diameter, and width against the original part before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the axle shaft, hub, and bearing area for wear or damage that could affect sealing performance. This part is used in rear and rear inner positions depending on the vehicle application, so match the position exactly to the fitment listing.

For fitment-specific service, confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and rear axle configuration before ordering. The SS2692 is listed for applications including 2000-2008 Jaguar S-Type rear, 2003-2006 Lincoln LS rear inner, and multiple Ford Mustang rear and Ford Thunderbird rear configurations.

Quality Assurance

FAG sources seals to meet manufacturer specifications and designs them to support long-term wheel-end protection in demanding driveline environments. The SS2692 uses a nitrile sealing element with a spring-loaded, auxiliary-lip design to help maintain sealing contact under normal operating conditions.
