Timken 362A Differential Race - Front Inner, Rear Inner, Rear Outer or Rear Right

Timken 362A Differential Race

Timken 362A is a differential race for driveline and axle service, built for applications that require reliable tapered roller bearing support under radial and axial load. It is used across a wide range of front inner and rear axle positions, including Chevrolet K2500, GMC K2500, and Ford F-250 fitments.

Key Features

• Tapered roller bearing race for differential and axle service
• Supports both radial and axial loads in compact bearing assemblies
• Timken engineering for durability in demanding driveline applications
• Fits multiple front inner, rear inner, rear outer, and rear right positions
• Cross-references National 362A for the same application

Detailed Description

This Timken differential race is engineered for driveline and axle applications where bearing stability and load control matter. The 362A part number is used in a broad range of vehicles, including Chevrolet K20, Chevrolet K2500, GMC K2500, Ford F-250, Jeep J20, Dodge D300, and Rolls-Royce rear axle applications. Timken tapered roller bearing components are known for handling combined loads efficiently, and this race is part of that bearing system.

For best results, replace the cone and cup together during service. That approach helps maintain proper bearing geometry and consistent operation in the differential or axle assembly. If you are servicing a Chevrolet K2500 front inner bearing, a GMC K2500 Suburban front inner bearing, or a Ford F-250 front inner axle setup, confirm the axle design and notes before ordering.

What It Helps Address

• Wheel or axle bearing noise from worn race surfaces
• Excessive bearing play in differential or axle assemblies
• Heat buildup caused by damaged bearing contact surfaces
• Rough operation in front inner or rear axle bearing locations
• Service needs on Chevrolet K2500, GMC K2500, and Ford F-250 axle systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the axle position, year, and notes before installation. This part fits front inner, rear right, rear inner, and rear outer applications depending on vehicle configuration. For Chevrolet K20, GMC K2500, and related heavy-duty truck fitments, check whether the axle is a non-hub assembly or a specific Dana/Spicer setup. Press-fit bearing races should be installed with the correct tools to avoid damage to the race surface.

Quality Assurance

Timken is a recognized global leader in tapered roller bearings, with engineering focused on load capacity, speed, and service life. The 362A differential race reflects that bearing expertise for driveline and axle repair.
