Differential Assembly and Pinion

Bearings

This bearing is a single row, pre-set tapered roller

bearing capable of accepting thrust loads and radial

loads in any combination.
The tapered roller bearing consists of four basic parts:

the cup or outer race, the cone or inner race, the

tapered rollers which roll freely between the cup and

cone, and the cage which serves as a retainer to

maintain the proper spacing between the tapered

rollers grouped around the cone.

Wheel Bearings

This bearing is a single row, pre-set tapered roller

bearing capable of accepting thrust loads in either

direction and radial loads in any combination.
The tapered roller bearing consists of five basic parts:

the cup or outer race, the cup rib ring, the cone or

inner race, the tapered rollers which roll freely

between the cup and cone, and the cage which

serves as a retainer to maintain the proper spacing

between the tapered rollers grouped around the cone.
When the bearing is manufactured, the cup and rib

ring are bonded together with an adhesive to facilitate

bearing handling and installation. Since the cup and

rib ring are clamped together in the axle housing,

there is no need for a permanent bond. When the

bearing is serviced the cup will usually be separated

from the rib ring.
