Timken 52400 Differential Bearing Overview

The Timken 52400 differential bearing is engineered to provide reliable performance in driveline and axle assemblies. Designed with precise dimensions, this bearing supports smooth differential operation in various vehicle applications, including popular makes and models requiring exact fitment.

• Cone radius options: 0.138 inch and 3.50 inch for accurate seating
• Cone width measurements: 1.422 inch and 36.12 inch for optimal load distribution
• Inside diameter sizes: 101.60 mm (4.000 inch) ensuring compatibility with specific axle shafts
• Durable construction suitable for differential assemblies

Technical Specifications and Design Details

The Timken 52400 differential bearing features dual cone radius measurements of 0.138 inch and 3.50 inch, allowing it to accommodate precise bearing cone fits within the differential housing. The cone widths of 1.422 inch and 36.12 inch provide the necessary surface area to evenly distribute forces during operation. With an inside diameter of 101.60 mm (4.000 inch), this bearing is designed to fit specific axle shaft dimensions commonly found in certain vehicle models. These attributes ensure the bearing maintains proper alignment and reduces wear under typical driveline stresses.

Compatible Vehicle Applications and Use Cases

This differential bearing is compatible with a range of vehicles requiring a 4.000 inch inside diameter bearing for their differential assemblies. It is suitable for use in driveline repairs or rebuilds where precise bearing dimensions are critical. The Timken 52400 helps address issues such as:

• Excessive differential noise due to worn bearings
• Uneven wear on axle shafts caused by improper bearing fit
• Vibration or rough operation in the driveline
• Reduced differential efficiency from bearing failure
• Preventing premature axle or gear damage

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Timken 52400 differential bearing, ensure the bearing cones are properly seated using the specified cone radius and width measurements. Verify the inside diameter matches the axle shaft to avoid misalignment. Use appropriate tools to press the bearing into place without damaging the race or cone surfaces. Proper lubrication and torque specifications should be followed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain bearing performance and longevity.
