FAG SS3018 Wheel Seal Kit - Front

FAG SS3018 Wheel Seal Kit

FAG SS3018 is a wheel seal kit built for front wheel-end service on a wide range of Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs. It uses a metal seal design with an auxiliary lip and nitrile sealing material to help keep contamination out and grease in at the bearing.

Key Features

• Part number: SS3018
• Wheel seal kit for front, front inner, and inner positions
• Metal seal with auxiliary lip design
• Nitrile sealing material
• Bore diameter: 2.622 in. (66.599 mm)
• Seal outside diameter: 2.626 in. (66.7 mm)
• Seal width: 2 in. (7.112 mm)
• Engineered to help protect wheel-end components from dirt, dust, and moisture

Detailed Description

FAG SS3018 is specified for wheel-end applications where seal integrity matters for bearing life and grease retention. The seal construction is designed to match vehicle-specific requirements, with dimensions that support proper fitment in the front axle area on applications such as Ford F-150, Ford E-150, Ford Econoline, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator. If you are servicing a Ford F-250 front wheel seal or a Ford E-150 front inner seal, SS3018 is a direct reference to verify against the original application.

This part cross-references Gates 19743 and National 4148 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Premature wear in front wheel bearings
• Seal leakage during wheel-end service
• Fitment issues when replacing a worn front axle seal

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation.
• Match the seal to the exact position listed for the vehicle: front, front inner, or inner.
• Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or damage before installing the new seal.
• Use clean assembly practices to avoid introducing contamination during service.
• Verify the application against the vehicle’s original seal specification, especially on Ford F-150, Ford E-150, and Ford F-250 front axle service.
