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
^ Scoring
