Detailed Description

FAG SS2729 is engineered for wheel end applications that require precise sealing dimensions and dependable material selection. The metal-and-nitrile design supports the seal’s role at the bearing interface, while the auxiliary lip adds an extra sealing feature for contamination control.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the bearing area
• Moisture contamination around hub components
• Seal wear that can contribute to bearing service issues
• Incorrect seal dimensions during wheel seal replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring, and clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly. Press the seal in evenly to avoid distortion, and follow the vehicle service manual for the correct installation procedure and orientation.
