Application Details

SKF BR23256 is used in front steering knuckle and front lower bearing locations on select 1961-1993 trucks and vans. It fits 1961-1979 Ford F-250, front; 1979-1988 Ford F-350, front; 1978-1986 Chevrolet K30, front lower; 1979-1986 GMC K3500, front lower; 1980 Dodge W200, front; 1981-1993 Dodge W250, front with Spicer 60 axle; 1987-1988 Chevrolet V30, front lower; 1987-1991 Chevrolet V3500, front lower; and 1987-1991 GMC V3500, front lower. This part cross-references Four Seasons 20660 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive play or looseness in the steering knuckle bearing area
  • Rough or noisy front-end bearing operation
  • Wear from high-load front axle service
  • Incorrect bearing race dimensions during steering knuckle repair
  • Service needs on heavy-duty Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge front ends

Installation Notes

Verify the bearing race dimensions and axle configuration before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses a front or front lower position, and check notes such as Spicer 60 axle or 3,500 lb. Spicer 44-6HDF & 60 axles where listed. Proper press-fit installation and clean mating surfaces are important for correct bearing seating and quiet operation.

SKF has supplied bearing solutions for more than 100 years, and BR23256 is manufactured to SKF quality standards for dependable fit and service life. The tapered roller race design and smooth raceway finish are intended to support consistent steering knuckle performance in demanding truck applications.
