FAG manufactures tapered roller bearings at high volume and applies that experience to compact, load-capable bearing designs. If you are replacing a transfer case pinion shaft bearing, FAG 30306A gives you the correct dimensional reference for parts matching and rebuild work. This part number 30306A is also commonly searched by technicians and rebuilders working on Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Tundra, and Suzuki XL-7 driveline repairs.

What This Bearing Helps Address

• Transfer case noise from worn pinion shaft support
• Excessive drivetrain play or looseness at the bearing location
