SKF SDK315 is an axle differential bearing and seal kit for rear applications on a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. It is built for 7.50-inch and 7.5-inch ring gear applications, including popular Ford Ranger, Mustang, and Explorer rear differentials.

Key Features

  • Axle differential bearing and seal kit for rear service work
  • Inside diameter: 11.0000
  • Width: 2.500
  • Bearing type: DIFF2TP
  • Includes premium bearings with matching cones and cups

Detailed Description

SKF SDK315 is engineered for differential service on rear axle assemblies that use a 7.50-inch ring gear. It is a direct-fit service kit for applications such as Ford Ranger rear differential repair, Ford Mustang rear axle bearing and seal replacement, and Ford Explorer rear differential maintenance. The kit combines the core wear components needed for a complete differential repair, helping restore proper bearing support and seal integrity in one service.

SKF manufactures the bearings, seals, and related components to meet original equipment specifications. The bearing set uses matched cones and cups for correct fit and load handling, while the seals are built with SKF's Bore-Tite coating to improve sealing performance. This part number is SKF SDK315.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rear differential bearing noise
  • Gear oil leaks at the axle or differential seal area
  • Excessive wear in the differential bearing surfaces
  • Service issues on 7.50-inch ring gear rear axles
  • Repeat repairs caused by worn seals or mismatched bearing components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear axle configuration and ring gear size before ordering. This kit is listed for standard 7.50-inch ring gear applications across multiple Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. Differential service requires careful setup of bearing preload, gear pattern, and seal placement, so follow factory service procedures during installation. Verify the vehicle application against the part number SKF SDK315 and the specific rear axle assembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF designs and manufactures driveline service components to high quality standards, with parts intended to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. The kit is built for long service life and dependable sealing performance in differential repair applications.
