Schaeffler Wheel Seal P/N:SS2048
Help keep dirt, dust, and moisture away from the front wheel bearing, and hold its grease in place, with the Schaeffler Wheel Seal / Shaft Seal SS2743. It is a direct replacement for the front wheel end of the 1949-1952 Ford Custom, the 1950-1953 Ford Country Sedan, the 1950-1953 Ford Country Squire, and the 1952-1953 Mercury Monterey. Schaeffler lists this part under both names, wheel seal and shaft seal.
Schaeffler engineers its wheel seals with high-quality materials to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications. It works with its suppliers so that every seal meets Schaeffler's own quality standards. The seal is designed to shield wheel end components from contamination and to help retain the bearing grease. Wheel seal specifications are demanding, and the correct type depends on the application, the position and the vehicle class.
A wheel seal may need replacing if you see grease seeping from the wheel end or grease on the brake parts. Bearing noise caused by contamination is another sign. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
