SKF Axle Differential Bearing Race P/N:BR24721
$33.99

Give your differential's tapered roller bearing a precision-ground running surface with the SKF Axle Differential Bearing Race BR24721. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1959-1973 Jeep CJ5, 1959-1973 Jeep CJ6 and 1966-1973 Jeep Commando. SKF catalogs it for both front and rear axle differential positions.

The race is the outer ring of the differential's tapered roller bearing. The rollers ride on it while the bearing supports the rotating differential carrier inside the axle housing. SKF offers its tapered roller bearing races for a wide range of applications and states that they meet or exceed requirements for most applications. They come from a brand that engineers, technicians and mechanics have relied on for more than 100 years.

  • Taper design: creates a wide contact area designed for maximum load distribution.
  • Logarithmic raceway profile: the roller raceway profile has an ultra-smooth surface finish designed for smooth, quiet operation.
  • Heat treated: processed for extended service life.
  • Precision ground: finished for smooth, quiet running.

Signs this part may need replacing: a whine or growl from the axle that changes with vehicle speed, excess play in the differential carrier, or pitting and spalling on the race surface. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.

See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engine details.

Is this race for the front or rear differential?

SKF catalogs BR24721 for both front and rear axle differential positions on the listed applications.

What are signs of a worn differential bearing race?

Signs include a whine or growl that changes with speed, excess carrier play, or pitting on the race surface. These can have other causes, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts.

What does the taper design do?

The taper design provides a wide contact area for load distribution. SKF pairs it with a logarithmic roller raceway profile and an ultra-smooth finish for smooth, quiet operation.

Should I replace the bearing cone at the same time?

BR24721 is the bearing race itself. Races and roller cones wear together, so replacing them as a set is common practice. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure.
