Product Details

Timken SET20 is a rear wheel bearing and race set from a brand recognized for tapered roller bearing engineering. The bearing components are designed to handle both radial and axial forces in a compact package, which is important in axle and wheel-end service where load control and durability matter. This part number is used across a wide range of rear applications, including 1974-1988 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models such as Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Ford E-150 Econoline.

For service work, Timken recommends replacing both the inner cone and outer cup together to help restore bearing performance and reliability. If you are searching for a rear wheel bearing and race set for a Ford F-150 rear axle, a Ford Bronco rear transfer case output shaft bearing with 9-inch ring gear, or a Ford E-150 Econoline rear 3,750 lb. axle application, SET20 is the listed part number.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear wheel bearing noise or rough rotation
