• 3.346-inch outside diameter for accurate race fitment
• Logarithmic roller raceway profile for smoother rolling contact
• Fine surface finish to support quiet wheel bearing operation
• SKF engineering and manufacturing standards for long service life
• Cross-reference: Gates 18720

Detailed Description

SKF BR18720 is a wheel bearing race designed for tapered roller bearing applications in the driveline and axle system. It is used in rear inner and rear outer positions on select Ford F-250 models and rear inner positions on Rolls-Royce Corniche II, Silver Spirit, Silver Spur, Camargue, Corniche, and Silver Shadow II applications. The race profile and finish are engineered to promote consistent bearing contact, helping maintain smooth wheel rotation under load. This part number, BR18720, is a direct match for applications that require the listed dimensions and bearing race design.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel bearing noise from worn or pitted race surfaces
• Rough wheel rotation caused by damaged tapered roller raceways
• Excessive play related to worn rear inner or rear outer bearing components
• Heat and friction issues from poor bearing contact surfaces
• Service replacement needs on Ford F-250 and Rolls-Royce rear axle assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions, position, and application before installation. This race is listed for rear inner and rear outer positions depending on vehicle and brake configuration, including Ford F-250 applications with 2-inch brakes through serial F30000 and 2.5-inch brakes through serial F30000. Clean the hub and bearing surfaces thoroughly, and inspect the matching bearing components for wear before assembly. Confirm the part number BR18720 against the original race specification before pressing it into place.
