Detailed Description

Timken M88046 is a differential pinion bearing used in front outer, rear inner, and rear outer positions depending on the vehicle application. This bearing is specified across multiple Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover configurations, including 1994-2002 Land Rover Discovery rear inner and 1987-2002 Land Rover Range Rover front outer. It also fits select Mercedes-Benz 300SEL rear outer and 300SE rear outer applications. This part cross-references Timken M88046 for the same application.

As a tapered roller bearing, the M88046 supports the load demands found in differential and axle assemblies while helping maintain proper gear support and rotation. For service work on Land Rover Discovery, Freelander, and Defender models, matching the bearing to the exact position is important for correct repair.

What It Helps Repair
