Detailed Description

FAG SS61261 is a transfer case output shaft seal designed around precise dimensional requirements for service replacement. The seal’s 2.75-inch bore diameter, 2.754-inch outside diameter, and 1.886-inch width are important for proper seating and sealing performance in the transfer case housing. Its rubber construction, spring tension, auxiliary lip, and Teflon sealing material are selected to help maintain a stable seal at the output shaft where contamination and lubricant loss can affect drivetrain operation. This part cross-references BBB Industries 19019 for the same application.

Compatible With select 2011-2018 Ram 1500 front applications, 2007-2017 Ford Expedition front applications, 2007-2015 Audi Q7 rear applications, 2010-2014 Ford F-150 front applications, and 2003-2009 Ford Ranger applications. The SS61261 is a practical replacement choice when servicing transfer case sealing on these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Transfer case fluid seepage at the output shaft
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the seal area
• Lubricant loss around the transfer case output shaft
• Wear-related sealing issues during drivetrain service
• Leak concerns on Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Ram 1500, Audi Q7, and Ford Ranger transfer cases

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, seal outside diameter, width, and application position before installation. Inspect the shaft surface and housing for scoring, corrosion, or debris that could affect sealing. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm the vehicle position listed for your application, since this part is used in front or rear transfer case locations depending on the model.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The SS61261 is built for demanding wheel-end and drivetrain sealing requirements, with material selection focused on contamination control and lubricant retention over the service life of the bearing or shaft assembly.
