Detailed Description

FAG SS3183 is a precision wheel seal designed for front hub assemblies where sealing performance is critical. The metal construction and nitrile sealing material are selected to help maintain a stable seal at the wheel end, reducing the entry of dirt, dust, and moisture while helping preserve bearing grease over time. This makes it a practical replacement for Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Dodge B-series, D-series, and Sprinter front applications listed in the fitment data.

For buyers searching for a Dodge Ram front wheel seal, front hub seal, or OE-style wheel seal replacement, SS3183 provides the dimensional and application-specific coverage needed for proper service. This part also cross-references Gates 22835 for the same application.
