Detailed Description

FAG SS2971 is a wheel seal engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications for the listed Honda front outer wheel-end positions. The seal’s metal construction and auxiliary lip support sealing performance where dimensional accuracy matters, while the nitrile sealing material is selected for wheel-end contamination control. If you are replacing a worn Honda Prelude wheel seal or Honda Accord front outer seal, SS2971 provides the dimensions and design profile required for these applications.

This part cross-references Carlson 19100 for the same application.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the wheel end
• Moisture contamination around the bearing area
• Seal wear that can lead to bearing service issues
• Incorrect seal dimensions during Honda front outer wheel seal replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Match the seal to the front outer position only, and confirm vehicle year and model against the fitment list before service. Clean the hub and bearing area thoroughly, inspect the mating surfaces for wear, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion.
