FAG 30304A Transfer Case Input Shaft Bearing - Front Outer or Right

FAG 30304A Transfer Case Input Shaft Bearing

The FAG 30304A is a tapered roller bearing built for transfer case input shaft service, where controlled load handling and compact packaging matter. It is used in drivetrain applications that demand stable support under combined radial and axial forces.

• Tapered roller bearing design for transfer case input shaft support
• Compact dimensions for drivetrain packaging requirements
• Inside diameter: 20 mm (0.787 in)
• Outside diameter: 52 mm (2.047 in)
• Length: 16.25 mm (0.64 in)
• FAG bearing engineered for wheel bearings, transmissions, differentials, and transfer cases

Application Details

FAG 30304A is a transfer case input shaft bearing selected for drivetrain assemblies that need precise rolling support and load-carrying capacity. The tapered roller construction helps manage the forces found in transfer cases, and the listed dimensions make it a direct-reference part for service work on vehicles such as the Nissan Rogue, Dodge Colt, and Volkswagen Beetle where this bearing number is specified.

This part cross-references SKF BR30304 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Transfer case noise during acceleration or deceleration
• Rough or uneven bearing rotation in the input shaft area
• Excessive drivetrain vibration from worn bearing surfaces
• Metallic wear debris associated with bearing deterioration
• Loss of smooth transfer case operation under load

Installation Notes

Verify the bearing dimensions against the original unit before installation, including the 20 mm inside diameter, 52 mm outside diameter, and 16.25 mm length. Proper press-fit handling and correct bearing preload are important for transfer case service, and the mating surfaces should be inspected for wear before assembly. Fits 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue, right. Fits 1987-1989 Dodge Colt, right. Fits 1954-1963 Volkswagen Beetle, front outer.

Quality Assurance

FAG is a Schaeffler brand with extensive tapered roller bearing production used across drivetrain and wheel-end applications. The 30304A follows the dimensional and application requirements listed for transfer case service and related drivetrain use.
