Detailed Description

SKF BR15117 is a transfer case output shaft bearing used in a range of 4x4 driveline applications, including Jeep CJ5, CJ7, Scrambler, Cherokee, Wagoneer, J10, and J20 models, as well as Ford Bronco, Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet K10 Suburban, and GMC Jimmy applications listed below. This bearing is engineered for transfer case service where shaft alignment, load control, and consistent rotation are critical.
