Timken Differential Pinion Race NP945727

Timken NP945727 is a differential pinion race for rear inner applications in select Ford and Lincoln vehicles. It is built as a tapered roller bearing component to handle radial and axial loads while supporting durable driveline operation.

Key Features

  • Rear inner differential pinion race for driveline and axle service
  • Tapered roller bearing design for combined radial and axial load capacity
  • Engineered for compact packaging with durable performance
  • Timken bearing component backed by established bearing engineering support
  • Use with the matching cone and cup replacement approach for reliable service

Detailed Description

Timken NP945727 is a differential pinion race used in rear inner bearing locations on 2000-2006 Lincoln LS and 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird applications. This Timken bearing component is part of the tapered roller bearing system that supports the differential pinion assembly, helping maintain smooth rotation and proper load distribution in the axle assembly. This part cross-references common OE-style bearing applications for the same service position.

Fits 2000-2006 Lincoln LS, rear inner. Fits 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, rear inner. Compatible with 8 Inch Ring Gear transfer case output shaft bearing notes on the Ford Thunderbird application.

What It Helps Address

  • Noise from a worn rear inner pinion bearing area
  • Excessive play in the differential pinion assembly
  • Rough rotation or bearing wear in the axle housing
  • Load-related driveline vibration from bearing deterioration
  • Service replacement for a damaged pinion race surface

Installation Notes

Replace the matching inner cone and outer cup together to support proper bearing life and reliability. Confirm the rear inner position and verify axle or ring gear specifications before installation on Lincoln LS or Ford Thunderbird applications.

Quality Assurance

Timken is known for tapered roller bearing engineering and application support. NP945727 is manufactured as a precision bearing race for driveline service and is intended to meet the demands of rear differential use in the listed vehicles.
