Help your differential pinion or manual transmission input shaft spin smoothly and quietly with the SKF Differential Pinion Bearing / Manual Transmission Input Shaft Bearing BR52. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and fits many vehicles, including the 1994-2003 Dodge Ram 1500, 2004-2015 Nissan Titan and 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
SKF lists this bearing under two names: differential pinion bearing and manual transmission input shaft bearing. Depending on the application, it is cataloged for the front, rear, inner, outer or center position.
- Heat-treated high-carbon steel: built from heat-treated high-carbon steel for strength.
- Smooth, quiet running: logarithmic roller raceway profiles and an ultra-smooth surface finish are designed for smooth and quiet operation.
- Precision-matched set: each bearing set contains precision-matched components designed for maximum performance and life.
- SKF engineering: for more than 100 years, engineers, technicians and mechanics worldwide have turned to SKF for solutions.
This bearing supports the pinion shaft in the differential or the input shaft in a manual transmission, allowing the shaft to rotate under load. Signs it may need replacing include a growl or whine that changes with speed, acceleration or clutch engagement. Other worn driveline components can make similar noise, so diagnose the source before replacing.
