- Single-row radial ball bearing design for smooth rotational support
- 20.000 mm bore and 47.000 mm outside diameter
- 14.000 mm width for compact fitment
- Inner and outer race radius: 1.020 mm
- Built to meet or exceed OE quality standards
- National 204-FF part number for easy identification
Detailed Product Overview
National 204-FF is a premium-quality bearing engineered for exacting dimensional control and lasting service life. The 0.787-inch bore, 1.850-inch outside diameter, and 0.551-inch width make it a precise match for applications that depend on stable shaft alignment and reduced friction. This bearing is commonly referenced across multiple OE and aftermarket part numbers, including Timken 204FF and SKF 6204-2RSJ for the same application.
Fitment includes 1987-1989 Toyota Tercel, N/A, with Nippondenso alternator and 55/60 amp alternator; 1987-1988 Toyota Corolla, N/A, with Nippondenso alternator and 55/60 amp alternator; and 1983-1986 Toyota Camry, N/A, with Nippondenso alternator and 55/60 amp alternator. It also appears in heavy-duty clutch pilot bushing applications for 1956-1966 Ford F-100, F-250, and F-350, plus 1961-1966 Ford Econoline and select Mercury applications.
What It Helps Address
- Steering column bearing wear that causes rough or inconsistent rotation
- Excess play or looseness in supported shafts
- Noisy operation from worn radial bearings
- Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style 20 mm x 47 mm x 14 mm bearing
- Service needs for select Toyota alternator and Ford clutch pilot bushing applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify bore, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the bearing matches the original component. Clean the housing and shaft surfaces thoroughly, and inspect for scoring, corrosion, or distortion that could affect bearing life. For vehicle-specific service, confirm the exact application by year, make, model, and equipment details such as alternator type or clutch setup.
