FAG SS3050 Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal

Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal for OE-Style Sealing

The FAG SS3050 transfer case input shaft seal is built for precise sealing performance in drivetrain applications that demand clean, stable operation. With a nitrile sealing material and a rubber spring auxiliary-lip design, it helps maintain a tight seal at the input shaft area where contamination control matters.

Compatible with select Volkswagen GTI, Jetta, Golf Alltrack, Golf SportWagen, Tiguan, and Passat CC applications, as well as several Audi and Cadillac platforms, the FAG SS3050 is a direct-fit style seal for specific right-side and transfer case sealing positions.

Key Features

Detailed Description

FAG SS3050 is engineered as a transfer case input shaft seal with dimensions matched to specific vehicle applications. The nitrile sealing element is selected for sealing performance in drivetrain environments, while the spring-loaded auxiliary lip helps maintain contact at the shaft surface. This seal is specified for vehicles including 2015-2019 Volkswagen GTI, 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan, and 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC, along with select Audi, Cadillac, and Hummer applications listed by fitment.

For buyers searching for a Volkswagen GTI transfer case input shaft seal, a Volkswagen Jetta right-side seal, or an Audi A4 right seal by part number SS3050, this FAG component provides the dimensional and material details needed for a proper replacement selection.

What It Helps Address

• Fluid leakage at the transfer case input shaft
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the sealed area
• Loss of lubricant or grease from the bearing/seal interface
• Wear-related sealing issues at the shaft contact surface
• Service replacement for a damaged or hardened drivetrain seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the correct match for the vehicle and position. Clean the sealing bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Use the exact fitment listing for the vehicle year, make, model, and position; this part is listed for right-side applications on several Volkswagen and Audi models, and for additional N/A-position applications on select Cadillac and Hummer vehicles.

Quality Assurance

FAG sources seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and designs them to protect wheel-end and drivetrain components from contamination while helping retain lubricant over the service life of the bearing or seal assembly. The SS3050 reflects that engineering approach with application-specific dimensions and material selection for controlled sealing performance.
