FAG SS2721 Wheel Seal - Rear
Overview of FAG SS2721 Wheel Seal
The FAG SS2721 wheel seal is engineered to provide reliable sealing performance for driveline and axle applications. Designed with nitrile sealing material and a rubber spring auxiliary lip, this wheel seal ensures effective protection against contaminants and fluid leakage in various vehicle models.
- Seal Type: Rubber with spring and auxiliary lip for enhanced sealing
- Sealing Material: Durable nitrile compound resistant to oils and heat
- Bore Diameter: 2.835 inches (72.009 mm)
- Seal Outside Diameter: 2.845 inches (72.263 mm)
- Seal Width: 1.654 inches (10.008 mm)
Technical Details and Specifications
The FAG SS2721 wheel seal features a precise bore diameter of 2.835 inches (72.009 mm) and an outside diameter of 2.845 inches (72.263 mm), ensuring a tight fit in compatible wheel hubs. The seal width of 1.654 inches (10.008 mm) provides adequate surface area for effective sealing. Constructed from nitrile, the sealing material offers resistance to oils, greases, and temperature variations commonly encountered in automotive driveline systems. The rubber seal incorporates a spring and auxiliary lip design to maintain consistent contact pressure and prevent leakage under dynamic conditions.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Prevents axle grease leakage in wheel hubs
- Protects driveline components from dirt and moisture ingress
- Reduces risk of premature bearing failure due to contamination
- Maintains proper lubrication environment for wheel bearings
- Helps avoid costly repairs related to seal failure in vehicles such as Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Dodge Ram
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the FAG SS2721 wheel seal, ensure the bore and shaft surfaces are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the hub without damaging the sealing lip. Verify the seal orientation matches the auxiliary lip direction to optimize sealing performance. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with compatible grease before installation to reduce initial wear.
Quality Assurance and Warranty
FAG manufactures the SS2721 wheel seal to meet stringent quality standards for durability and performance in automotive driveline applications. The use of nitrile sealing material and robust rubber spring design supports long service life under typical operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the original equipment manufacturer or supplier.
