Detailed Description

FAG SS3080 is a wheel seal engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications for demanding wheel end applications. The seal construction combines a metal shell, spring, and inner shell with nitrile sealing material to support consistent sealing performance at the hub and bearing interface. When selecting a replacement wheel seal, matching the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width is essential for proper seating and sealing.

This part number, SS3080, is suited for service work where the original seal must control contamination and preserve lubricant in the bearing assembly. It cross-references SKF 20554 and Timken 451948 for the same application. For buyers comparing wheel seal options for Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla service, FAG SS3080 provides the dimensional and material details needed for accurate selection.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the hub area
• Moisture contamination around bearing components
• Seal wear from age or heat exposure
• Improper sealing caused by incorrect dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width against the original part before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and confirm the seal seats evenly to avoid leaks or premature wear. Always match the seal to the specific wheel end application, position, and vehicle class.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. SS3080 is built for wheel end sealing performance where precise fit and material selection are important.
