Timken Differential Pinion Pilot Race,Differential Pinion Race,Differential Race P/N:HM803110
Give your differential's pinion bearing a fresh surface to run on with the National Differential Pinion Race HM803110. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2004-2006 Dodge Ram 1500, 2002-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Inside the differential, the pinion bearings support the pinion gear shaft as it drives the ring gear. The race is pressed into a bore in the differential housing and gives the bearing rollers a smooth track to run on. If that surface becomes pitted, spalled or worn, the pinion can develop play and gear contact can change.
Signs a pinion race may need replacing include a whine or growl from the differential that changes on acceleration or coasting, and play at the pinion. Other driveline parts can cause the same noises, so diagnose the cause before you replace parts.
This listing is for the race only. Pinion depth and bearing preload must be set according to the vehicle service information, so installation by an experienced technician is recommended.
