Differential Bearing Kit for Ford Rear Axles
The Dorman 697-112 differential bearing kit provides the installation components needed for a differential ring and pinion service on select Ford trucks with a standard-design 10.25-inch ring gear. It includes carrier and pinion bearings with the related races, shims, seals, pinion nut, and marking compound for a complete differential setup service.
Key Features
- Carrier and pinion bearing kit for differential ring and pinion service
- Steel bearing construction for drivetrain use
- Bearing races included for installation
- Package contents include bearings, races, shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound
- Direct application for rear axle service on select Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford F-250 HD, and Ford F-350 models
Detailed Description
Dorman 697-112 is built for rear differential service on Ford trucks equipped with the standard-design 10.25-inch ring gear. This differential bearing kit supports ring and pinion installation by supplying the carrier and pinion bearings, races, shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound needed to set up the differential correctly. It is a practical service solution for 2000-2003 Ford F-150 rear axle applications, 1985-1998 Ford F-250 rear axle applications, 1997 Ford F-250 HD rear axle applications, and 1985-1997 Ford F-350 rear axle applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., R10.25R) for the same application. The Dorman 697-112 part number is also useful when sourcing a differential bearing kit for Ford rear axle repair by exact reference.
What It Helps Solve
- Worn differential bearings that can create noise or rough operation
- Ring and pinion setup service after gear replacement
- Rear axle differential rebuilds on Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford F-250 HD, and Ford F-350 trucks
- Loss of proper bearing preload or gear contact pattern during differential service
- Seal replacement during rear differential maintenance
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear axle configuration and confirm the standard-design 10.25-inch ring gear before ordering. During installation, bearing preload, shim selection, and gear contact pattern should be checked carefully to achieve correct differential setup. Use the included marking compound to confirm ring and pinion contact pattern before final assembly. The Dorman 697-112 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear axle application exactly as listed.
Quality Assurance
Dorman supplies service parts for drivetrain repair applications, and this kit is organized to support a complete differential bearing replacement and setup process for the listed Ford rear axle vehicles.
