Differential Bearing Kit for Ford 7.5 In. Ring Gear

Dorman 697-107 is a differential bearing kit for rear axle service on select Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles with a 7.5 in. ring gear. It includes the carrier and pinion bearing components needed for differential ring and pinion installation, along with matching setup parts for a complete rebuild process.

Key Features

  • Carrier and pinion bearing type for differential service
  • Steel bearing construction for drivetrain use
  • Bearing races included
  • Package contents include bearings, races, shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound
  • Direct-fit service kit for select rear differential applications
  • Part number 697-107 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Detailed Description

This Dorman differential bearing kit is built for rear differential work on vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, Ford Explorer, Mercury Cougar, and related applications listed below. It is intended for service on standard-design differentials with a 7.5 in. ring gear, making it a practical choice when replacing worn carrier and pinion bearings during ring and pinion setup. The included shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound support the setup process needed for proper gear pattern adjustment. If you are sourcing Dorman 697-107 for a Ford Ranger rear differential or a Ford Mustang rear axle rebuild, this kit provides the core components required for that service.

This part cross-references 761A004 and F7.5IK for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Gear noise from worn differential bearings
  • Excessive play in the carrier or pinion assembly
  • Improper ring and pinion setup after service
  • Seal leakage at the differential during rebuild work
  • Need for matched setup components during rear axle repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle configuration and ring gear size before installation. This kit is listed for rear applications only and is specified for standard-design differentials with a 7.5 in. ring gear. During installation, follow factory service procedures for bearing preload, shim selection, and gear pattern verification using the included marking compound. Confirm fitment by year, make, model, and rear axle specification before assembly. Compatible With 1983-2011 Ford Ranger, rear; 1979-2010 Ford Mustang, rear; 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, rear; and other listed rear applications.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies service parts for drivetrain repair applications, and this kit is built around the components needed for differential bearing replacement and setup on the listed vehicles. Use the vehicle-specific fitment data and axle specifications to confirm application before installation.
