FAG SS3357 Wheel Seal - Rear

FAG SS3357 Wheel Seal Overview

The FAG SS3357 wheel seal is built for wheel end service where contamination control and grease retention matter. It uses a nitrile sealing material with a metal, spring, auxiliary lip, and inner shell design to help protect bearing components from dirt, dust, and moisture.

With a 4.501 in bore diameter, 4.506 in outside diameter, and 3.25 in width, this seal is specified for precise wheel-end applications. It is a direct-fit style wheel seal for service work on vehicles such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla applications when the listed dimensions and position match the original part.

Key Features

• FAG wheel seal, part number SS3357
• Nitrile sealing material for wheel-end sealing performance
• Metal, spring, auxiliary lip, and inner shell construction
• 4.501 in bore diameter and 4.506 in seal outside diameter
• 3.25 in seal width for dimension-specific replacement
• Helps keep dirt, dust, and moisture out of the wheel end
• Helps retain grease around the bearing over service life

Detailed Description

FAG SS3357 is a wheel seal engineered to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications using high-quality materials selected for demanding wheel-end environments. The seal design focuses on protecting bearing components from contamination while helping prevent grease loss, which is critical for maintaining proper wheel end function. This part number, SS3357, is dimensionally defined for applications that require a 114.325 mm bore diameter, 114.452 mm outside diameter, and 10.998 mm width.

This part cross-references SKF 32502 for the same application. When servicing Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla wheel-end assemblies, verify the original seal dimensions, position, and vehicle class before installation. The FAG SS3357 is intended for applications where the seal profile and measurements match the OE requirement.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing contamination from road dirt and dust
• Moisture intrusion at the wheel end
• Grease loss around the bearing assembly
• Seal wear caused by demanding wheel-end conditions
• Replacement needs for dimension-matched wheel seal service

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm bore diameter, outside diameter, width, and seal type against the removed part before installation. Inspect the hub, spindle, and bearing surfaces for wear or damage, and clean the sealing area thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly. Use the correct installation method for the application to avoid distorting the metal shell or sealing lip.

For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly referenced for Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla wheel seal service when the OE dimensions match. The FAG SS3357 should be selected by application, position, and vehicle class rather than by appearance alone.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs wheel seals to meet manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The SS3357 follows that approach with a sealing design intended for consistent wheel-end protection in specified applications.
