Detailed Description

FAG SS2969 is a wheel seal engineered for demanding wheel-end service where sealing accuracy matters. Its nitrile construction and auxiliary-lip design help maintain grease retention and reduce contamination at the bearing area.

This part cross-references National 710305 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the bearing area
• Moisture contamination around the seal surface
• Wear related to compromised rear axle sealing
• Noise or roughness caused by contaminated wheel-end components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the axle position before ordering, since SS2969 is used in rear inner, rear, and rear outer locations across different Nissan platforms. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original seal specification. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring before installation, and replace any damaged mating components to help the new seal seat correctly. For fitment verification, use the vehicle year, make, model, and position listed for your application.

The seal construction is intended for the sealing demands of wheel-end service on the listed Nissan applications, including 2000-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra rear axle positions.
