Differential Case Bearings Inspection 

Important: 
^

When replacing the worn or cracked bearings and the cups, replace the bearings in sets.

^

The low mileage bearings may have very small scratches and pits on the rollers and the bearing cups from the initial preload. Do not replace a
bearing for this reason.

1. Inspect the bearings for smooth rotation after oiling.
2. Inspect the bearing rollers for wear.
3. Inspect the bearing cups for the following conditions:

^

Wear

^

Cracks

^

Brinelling
