FAG SS2743 Wheel Seal - Front

FAG SS2743 Wheel Seal Overview

FAG SS2743 is a metal wheel seal with nitrile sealing material, built for wheel end service where contamination control and grease retention matter. It is sized for a 2.623 in bore diameter, 2.627 in outside diameter, and 1.688 in width, making it a precise replacement for the specified application.

For drivers searching for a wheel seal for Honda Civic or similar wheel-end service needs, FAG SS2743 provides the dimensional accuracy needed to support proper sealing at the bearing. This part number, SS2743, is also referenced in cross-application catalogs for the same use case.

Key Features

• Metal seal construction for durable wheel-end sealing
• Nitrile sealing material for grease retention and contamination control
• Bore diameter: 2.623 in (66.624 mm)
• Outside diameter: 2.627 in (66.726 mm)
• Seal width: 1.688 in (42.875 mm)
• Designed to help protect wheel end components from dirt, dust, and moisture
• FAG SS2743 replacement part for precise wheel seal service

Detailed Description

FAG SS2743 is engineered as a wheel seal for driveline and axle applications where the seal must maintain a tight barrier at the wheel end. The metal seal type and nitrile sealing material are selected to help keep contaminants out while retaining grease around the bearing assembly. With its specified bore, outside diameter, and width, this seal is suited to applications that require exact dimensional matching rather than a universal fit.

This part is a practical choice for wheel seal replacement on vehicles such as Honda Civic when the original seal dimensions match the listed specifications. If you are cross-referencing SS2743 during a wheel bearing or hub service, verify the dimensions against the removed seal before installation. FAG SS2743 also cross-references BBB Industries 16811 and National 440265 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the wheel end
• Moisture entering the seal area
• Wear caused by contaminated bearing lubricant
• Seal replacement during wheel bearing or hub service

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to ensure the seal matches the hub or spindle specification. Inspect the sealing surface for scoring, corrosion, or debris, and clean the area thoroughly before pressing the seal into place. During service on Honda Civic wheel-end components, compare the removed seal to FAG SS2743 and verify the application by measurement, not appearance alone.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to align production with FAG quality standards. The SS2743 wheel seal is built to the dimensional and material requirements expected for wheel-end sealing service.
