What This Part Helps Address

• Transmission differential bearing noise
• Excessive drivetrain friction
• Wear from high-load operating conditions
• Fitment issues from incorrect bearing dimensions
• Reduced bearing life in automatic transmission service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 60 mm inside diameter and 90 mm outside diameter before installation.
