Detailed Description

FAG SS3807 is a wheel seal designed around vehicle-specific sealing requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. For the 1942 Lincoln Continental rear outer position, this seal uses nitrile sealing material and a metal/spring/inner shell design to support the wheel end against contamination while helping preserve lubricant inside the bearing assembly. The SS3807 part number is also referenced in interchange listings, including Gates 20538, and it cross-references Schaeffler global number 413 3807 100 for the same application. If you are sourcing a wheel seal for a 1942 Lincoln Continental rear outer position, FAG SS3807 provides the dimensional and material details needed for a proper match.

What This Wheel Seal Helps Address

• Grease loss at the wheel bearing
• Dirt and dust intrusion into the wheel end
• Moisture entering the sealed bearing area
• Seal wear from incorrect size or material selection
• Noise or bearing damage related to contaminated lubrication

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm the seal matches the hub and axle housing dimensions. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the bearing, spindle, and hub for wear or scoring before fitting the new seal. For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the nitrile lip and spring assembly. This part is listed for the 1942 Lincoln Continental, rear outer position, so confirm the application and position before ordering.
