FAG SS2922 Wheel Seal - Rear Outer

Wheel Seal for Driveline and Axle Service

The FAG SS2922 wheel seal is built for wheel end service where contamination control and grease retention matter. It uses a nitrile sealing material with a metal spring and auxiliary lip design to help protect bearing components from dirt, dust, and moisture.

For technicians servicing wheel end assemblies on vehicles such as Honda Civic and similar applications, SS2922 is a direct-fit style wheel seal built to match application-specific dimensions and sealing demands.

Detailed Description

FAG SS2922 is a wheel seal designed around precise dimensional requirements for wheel end assemblies. The seal’s nitrile material, metal spring, and auxiliary lip work together to support sealing at the bearing interface, helping keep grease in place while limiting exposure to road debris and moisture. The listed dimensions are critical for proper application matching, especially where bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width must align with the hub or axle housing.

This part cross-references Gates 18734 and Timken 473238 for the same application. When selecting a replacement wheel seal, confirm the required seal type and dimensions against the vehicle service information. SS2922 is a practical choice for wheel end maintenance on Honda Civic applications and other vehicles that call for this size and sealing profile.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Premature bearing wear caused by seal failure
• Improper sealing from incorrect bore or outside diameter match
• Noise or service issues related to compromised wheel end protection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Inspect the hub, axle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring, and replace damaged components as needed. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the lip or spring. Confirm the application by vehicle service data for the exact Honda Civic or other make/model fitment required.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The SS2922 is engineered for demanding wheel end sealing requirements, with application-specific sizing and materials selected for long-term service in the intended driveline and axle environment.
