FAG SS3749 Wheel Seal - Rear

Wheel Seal for Driveline and Axles

FAG SS3749 is a wheel seal built for wheel-end service where contamination control and grease retention matter. It uses a nitrile sealing material with a metal spring and auxiliary lip design to help keep dirt, dust, and moisture out of the bearing area.

For technicians and parts buyers searching for a wheel seal for Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or other vehicle-specific wheel-end applications, SS3749 is engineered to match manufacturer specifications and the demands of the exact position on the vehicle.

Detailed Description

FAG SS3749 is a precision wheel seal for driveline and axle service, designed around the dimensional and sealing requirements of the specific application. The metal spring and auxiliary lip construction helps maintain sealing contact, while the nitrile material is selected for wheel-end use where exposure to road debris and moisture is common. If you are replacing a wheel seal on a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or another vehicle that uses this size and style, SS3749 provides the dimensional details needed for a proper match.

This part cross-references Bosch 16449 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease leakage at the wheel end
• Dirt and dust intrusion into bearing areas
• Moisture contamination around the seal surface
• Wear caused by a compromised wheel seal
• Noise or roughness related to contaminated wheel-end components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Confirm the seal type matches the vehicle position and axle or hub design, since wheel seal requirements vary by application and vehicle class. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the bearing area for contamination or wear before installing SS3749.
