Detailed Description

FAG SS3885 is engineered for demanding sealing locations where dimensional accuracy and material selection matter. The silicone sealing material and multi-lip construction are specified to help retain lubricant and reduce contamination at the crankshaft seal area. This makes it a practical choice for rear engine seal service on vehicles such as the Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, and Toyota Celica.

This part cross-references SKF 33408 for the same application. The SS3885 is also identified with FAG part number SS3885, making it easier to verify the correct replacement during engine sealing repairs.

What It Helps Address

• Oil leakage at the rear crankshaft seal area
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture
• Loss of grease or lubricant at the seal interface
• Seal wear caused by heat and rotating shaft movement
• Fitment issues when the correct bore and outside diameter are required

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions and rear-position fitment before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, inspect the crankshaft and housing for wear or scoring, and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Use the vehicle service procedure for the specific Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, or Toyota application listed for SS3885.
