Detailed Description

FAG SS3053 is a transmission sealing component engineered for exact-fit applications where shaft sealing and fluid retention are critical. The Viton sealing material is paired with a metal case, spring tension, and auxiliary lip to support consistent contact at the sealing surface. This part cross-references Baldwin 20027 for the same application.

Use SS3053 when servicing select Toyota Sienna, Toyota Solara, Toyota Camry, and Lexus RX300 models that call for this output shaft seal specification. The dimensions and seal construction are matched to the listed applications, helping maintain proper sealing performance in the transmission assembly.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Transmission fluid seepage at the output shaft area
• Contamination entering the sealed transmission interface
• Wear-related sealing loss from age or heat exposure
• Improper sealing after transmission service
• Noise or drivability concerns related to low fluid level from leakage

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and side before ordering. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original specification, and inspect the shaft surface for scoring or wear before installation. Clean the sealing bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the lip or spring.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The seal construction is selected to help protect the transmission sealing interface from contamination and fluid loss over the service life of the bearing and related components.
