Help keep dirt, dust and moisture away from the rear wheel end with the Schaeffler Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS2049. Schaeffler lists it as a shaft seal, and it is cataloged as a wheel seal. Cataloged for the rear inner position, it is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1998-2008 Subaru Forester, 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy and 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza.
Schaeffler engineers its wheel seals from high-quality materials to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. It works with its suppliers to design seals that meet Schaeffler's own quality standards. The seal is designed to shield wheel-end components from contaminants and to help keep grease in the bearing. Wheel-seal specifications are demanding, and the correct type depends on the application, position and vehicle class.
Signs a wheel seal may need replacing: grease seeping from the rear hub area, grease on nearby brake parts, or noise from a bearing that may be contaminated. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn seal is the problem, SS2049 replaces it.
See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications and engine details.
