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
