This set is a tapered roller bearing (TRB) with a cup and cone. It is also listed as a differential pinion bearing. Schaeffler is a trusted OEM supplier and builds these sets for performance and precision:
- Axial & radial support: Built to withstand both axial and radial forces, handling complex load requirements with precision.
- Optimal load distribution: The carefully crafted cup-and-cone design is intended to spread forces evenly.
- OEM-grade quality: Made to the stringent standards that original equipment manufacturers set.
- Durability: Crafted from high-strength materials to withstand extensive use in demanding environments.
A tapered roller bearing lets a component rotate while it carries radial and axial loads. Signs that this bearing may need replacing include:
- growling or rumbling that changes with road speed
- roughness
- excess play at the wheel
Diagnose the cause before you replace the bearing. Follow the vehicle's service information for installation and adjustment.
