FAG SS2730 Wheel Seal - Front

FAG SS2730 Wheel Seal Overview

The FAG SS2730 wheel seal is a metal wheel end seal with nitrile sealing material, built to help keep contamination out of the hub area and retain grease at the bearing. With a 2.328 in bore diameter, 2.332 in outside diameter, and 1.688 in width, it is sized for precise wheel-end sealing in the correct application.

For drivers searching for a wheel seal for Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or similar passenger vehicle wheel-end service, the FAG SS2730 is specified by dimensions and application requirements rather than a universal fit.

Key Features

• Part number SS2730 for wheel-end sealing applications
• Metal seal type with nitrile sealing material
• Bore diameter: 2.328 in (59.131 mm)
• Seal outside diameter: 2.332 in (59.233 mm)
• Seal width: 1.688 in (42.875 mm)
• Built to help protect wheel end components from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Helps retain grease over the service life of the bearing

Detailed Description

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications using materials selected for wheel-end durability and sealing performance. The SS2730 follows that approach with a metal construction and nitrile sealing surface, making it a technical replacement choice where the seal dimensions and wheel-end design match the application. If you are sourcing an FAG SS2730 wheel seal for Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla service, confirm the required bore, outside diameter, and width before installation.

This part cross-references National 203008 and SKF 16667 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing seal area
• Contamination from road dirt, dust, and moisture
• Wheel-end noise caused by seal failure and bearing wear
• Premature bearing damage from lubricant loss
• Incorrect seal sizing during wheel-end repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions against the hub and bearing specification before installation. Inspect the sealing surface, bore, and mating components for wear, scoring, or corrosion, since damaged surfaces can affect seal performance. Use the correct installation method for the application to avoid deforming the metal seal or damaging the nitrile sealing lip.

Quality Assurance

FAG wheel seals are engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and are designed around application-specific wheel-end requirements. The SS2730 is built to the dimensional and material standards expected for precise wheel seal service.
