Differential Case Bearings Inspection

Differential Case Bearings Inspection

Important:
^ When replacing the worn or cracked bearings and the cups, replace the bearings in sets.

^ The low mileage bearings may have very small scratches and pits on the rollers and the bearing cups from the initial preload.

Do not replace a bearing for this reason.

Inspect the bearings for smooth rotation after oiling.
1. Inspect the bearing rollers for wear.
2. Inspect the bearing cups for the following conditions:
^ Wear
^ Cracks
^ Brinelling
^ Scoring
