FAG SS3606 Wheel Seal

Wheel Seal for Nissan and Infiniti Applications

The FAG SS3606 wheel seal is built for wheel-end sealing performance where contamination control matters. It uses nitrile sealing material with a rubber, spring, and auxiliary lip design to help keep dirt, dust, and moisture out while retaining grease at the bearing.
