FAG SS3243 Wheel Seal - Front

FAG SS3243 Wheel Seal Overview

FAG SS3243 is a metal wheel seal with nitrile sealing material, built to match vehicle-specific wheel end requirements. It is sized with a 3.505 in bore diameter, 3.51 in outside diameter, and 2.5 in width for applications that call for precise sealing at the hub.

For wheel end service on Honda Civic and similar passenger vehicle applications, this seal helps keep contamination out of the bearing area while retaining grease where it belongs. The FAG SS3243 is engineered to meet manufacturer specifications for the application, position, and vehicle class.

Detailed Description

FAG SS3243 is a wheel seal designed for the demands of wheel end service, where sealing accuracy directly affects bearing protection and long-term reliability. The metal construction and nitrile sealing material are selected for applications that require a precise seal at the hub, helping reduce contamination and grease loss. This part number SS3243 is a direct fitment-focused sealing solution for service work where OE-style dimensions matter. This part cross-references National 8975S and Remy 25028 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust entering the bearing area
• Moisture intrusion around the hub seal
• Premature wheel bearing wear from contamination
• Seal replacement during hub and bearing service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width against the original seal before installation. Clean the hub and seal bore thoroughly, inspect the bearing surfaces for wear, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the application by vehicle, position, and wheel end dimensions before using SS3243 on Honda Civic or other listed applications.

Quality Assurance

FAG states that its wheel seals are built from high-quality materials and developed to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. The design focus is on sealing performance, contamination control, and grease retention for the intended wheel end application.
