Detailed Description

SKF has a long history in bearing technology, beginning with the first self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. The 6011-J continues that engineering focus with a transfer case output shaft bearing design intended to maintain stable shaft support and smooth motion in demanding driveline environments. This bearing is used in transfer cases found in vehicles such as the Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500, along with additional Expedition, Navigator, Hummer H3, and Dodge applications.

Use SKF 6011-J when servicing transfer case bearing wear on vehicles that need accurate shaft support and controlled friction. It is a direct-fit bearing for many front, front forward, and rear rearward transfer case positions across 1999-2018 model years.

What This Bearing Helps Address

• Transfer case noise from worn output shaft bearings
• Excessive shaft play or looseness in the transfer case
• Rough rotation or binding during driveline operation
• Vibration related to bearing wear in 4x4 transfer case assemblies
• Service replacement for worn bearings in Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ram 2500, and similar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the bearing dimensions and transfer case position before installation.
• Confirm the transfer case type and notes, including New Process 271 & 273, New Process 246, Borg Warner 44-46, or Warner 4416 where listed.
• Inspect the shaft, races, and seals for wear before assembly.
• Press the bearing in evenly to avoid damage to the bearing surfaces.
• Match the application to the exact year, make, model, and position shown in the fitment data.
