Common Repair Uses

• Rear differential bearing wear during service or rebuild
• Seal leakage at the axle differential assembly
• Noise from worn bearings in the rear end
• Maintenance on 7.5-inch ring gear Ford and Mazda rear axles
• Restoration work on older Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury driveline assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the rear axle uses a 7.5-inch ring gear before ordering. Match the existing differential components and inspect the pinion race during service, especially on 1979-2010 Ford Mustang applications. Clean all mating surfaces and follow factory torque and setup procedures during installation.

Quality Assurance

Timken markets DT Components rebuild kits for driveline service, and this kit follows that product line approach by supplying the bearings and seals needed for differential repair work.
