Detailed Description

FAG SS2766 is a precision wheel seal for applications that require exact dimensional matching at the hub and bearing assembly. The seal’s metal construction and nitrile sealing element are selected to support wheel-end sealing performance by helping block dirt, dust, and moisture while maintaining grease inside the bearing cavity. This part number appears in fitments for 1991-1993 BMW M5 front, 1985-1992 Chevrolet Sprint front, 1989-1991 Geo Metro front, 1977-1982 Porsche 924 rear inner, and 1950-1967 Volkswagen Beetle rear applications, among others.

This part cross-references BBB Industries 17131 for the same application.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Contamination from road dirt and dust
• Moisture intrusion into the bearing area
• Seal wear from age, heat, and mileage
• Noise or roughness related to compromised wheel-end sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify seal dimensions before installation: 2.449 in. bore diameter, 2.453 in. outside diameter, and 1.734 in. width. Confirm the vehicle position listed for your application, since SS2766 is used in front, rear, front inner, and rear inner locations depending on the make and model. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring before installing the new seal, and replace any damaged components as needed to maintain proper sealing.

Quality Assurance

FAG states that its wheel seals are built to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and are developed with supplier input to meet FAG quality standards. The seal design is focused on protecting wheel-end components from contamination and preserving grease over the service life of the bearing.
