• Leak-related engine cleanliness issues around the rear camshaft location
• Fitment concerns when replacing a seal with the correct OE-style dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine configuration, seal position, and dimensions before installation. This FAG SS2848 application list includes rear and N/A positions, so confirm the exact vehicle and engine setup against the original part. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the camshaft and housing for wear, scoring, or debris before pressing in the new seal.

For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the metal case or sealing lip. Use the vehicle service procedure for the correct installation depth and orientation.
