Detailed Description

FAG SS2705 is engineered to maintain a reliable seal at the camshaft area, helping keep engine oil where it belongs while resisting contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture. The Viton sealing material is selected for demanding under-hood conditions, and the spring-loaded auxiliary lip helps maintain consistent contact at the sealing surface. This part number is used across many OE-style applications, including 2001-2019 Acura MDX, 1999-2019 Honda Odyssey, 2003-2019 Honda Pilot, and 1995-2017 Honda Accord models, along with additional Ford, Mazda, Chevrolet, Saturn, and other listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Bosch 16473 and National 711181 for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Contamination entering the engine sealing surface
• Loss of sealing integrity from heat and age
• Noise or drivability concerns related to oil leakage near the timing area
• Service replacement for worn or hardened original seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the camshaft sealing surface for wear, scoring, or debris, and clean the area thoroughly before fitting the seal. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment by year, make, model, engine configuration, and position, since this part is listed for both N/A and front applications depending on the vehicle.

For best results, install the seal squarely and avoid damaging the sealing lip during assembly. Always match the application to the exact vehicle listing before service.
