Detailed Description

SKF SDK317 is engineered for rear differential service where bearing wear and seal leakage can affect axle performance. This kit is a practical choice for Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 rear axle repair, as well as Ford F-350 and Ford Excursion applications that use the 10.5" ring gear configuration. The SKF SDK317 combines the core wear items needed for differential service so the repair can address bearing support and sealing at the same time.

SKF manufactures the bearings, seals, and related components to OE-level specifications, with matched bearing cones and cups for proper fit. The seal design includes SKF's Bore-Tite coating to improve sealing performance, and gaskets or silicone sealant are included where applicable. This makes the kit suitable for technicians and owners looking to service a rear differential with the correct bearing and seal components in one part number.

This part cross-references Anchor 300181 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear differential bearing noise or rough operation
• Gear oil seepage at the differential seals
• Wear-related loss of bearing support in the axle assembly
• Service delays caused by replacing bearings and seals separately
• Repeat repairs from incomplete differential resealing

Installation Notes

Verify axle and ring gear configuration before installation. This kit is listed for rear applications with a 10.5" ring gear on the specified Ford models. Differential service requires correct bearing preload, seal seating, and gear setup, so installation should follow factory service procedures and measurement specifications.
