SKF KRS151 Differential Crush Sleeve - Rear

SKF Differential Crush Sleeve KRS151

SKF KRS151 is a differential crush sleeve for rear driveline service where proper bearing preload is critical. It is used in applications such as Ford F-150, Expedition, Transit, and Lincoln Navigator rear differentials with a 9.75" ring gear.

Key Features

• Bearing type: CRH SLV
• Supports correct load on drivetrain bearings during differential setup
• Used in rear differential service for select Ford and Lincoln applications
• SKF part number KRS151 for direct identification
• Cross-reference: Ford BL3Z4662A for the same application

Product Details

This SKF differential crush sleeve is built for rear axle service where pinion bearing preload must be set accurately. In applications like the 2012-2014 Ford F-150 rear with a 9.75" ring gear, the 2015-2019 Ford Expedition rear, and the 2012-2017 Lincoln Navigator rear with a 9.75" ring gear, KRS151 helps support a proper differential rebuild. It also applies to rear Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD models from 2015-2016. SKF KRS151 is a practical choice when replacing a worn or compressed crush sleeve during differential repair.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect pinion bearing preload after differential service
• Noise from a rear differential that was previously rebuilt
• Loss of setup accuracy when reusing an old crush sleeve
• Wear-related issues during Ford F-150, Expedition, or Navigator rear axle repair
• Setup problems in rear axle service on Transit van driveline repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the crush sleeve during differential setup rather than reusing an old one. Accurate preload measurement is important during installation, and the sleeve must be compressed to the correct specification for the axle being serviced. Verify rear axle configuration and ring gear size before ordering. This part number, KRS151, is used in rear differential applications only.
