Detailed Description

FAG SS3086 is a wheel seal designed around application-specific dimensions and sealing requirements. The nitrile sealing material and rubber spring-loaded construction with an auxiliary lip are selected to support wheel-end protection in demanding service conditions. This seal is used in front outer, front, and front inner positions on select compact vehicles, including 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-2001 Suzuki Swift, and 1990-1997 Geo Metro. The FAG SS3086 also cross-references Four Seasons 20906 and Timken 710175 for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing
• Contamination from dirt and dust entering the hub area
• Moisture intrusion at the wheel end
• Seal wear from age, heat, and road exposure
• Noise or roughness caused by compromised bearing lubrication

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Match the seal to the exact position listed for your vehicle, since front outer, front, and front inner applications are not interchangeable. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or scoring before installing the new seal. Clean all sealing surfaces thoroughly so the nitrile lip can seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain FAG quality standards. The SS3086 is built for the demanding requirements of wheel-end sealing on select Chevrolet Metro and Suzuki Swift applications, where precise fit and contamination control are critical.
