Keep the pinion gear, transfer-case countershaft, or wheel hub spinning smoothly with the SKF Bearing 6306-J. Listed under three names — Differential Pinion Bearing, Transfer Case Countershaft Bearing, and Wheel Bearing — it drops in as a direct-fit replacement across 112 cataloged applications, including the 1967-1971 BMW 2002, 1971-1972 Chevrolet Vega, 1972-1974 Ford Courier, 1998-1999 Ford Ranger, 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, 1998-2004 Chevrolet Tracker, 2006-2010 Hummer H3, 1986-1994 Nissan D21, 1987-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 1950-1967 Volkswagen Beetle, and 1960-1968 Volvo 122. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Multi-role bearing: depending on the application it supports the differential pinion, the transfer-case countershaft, or a wheel hub.
- Smooth rotation: carries the rotating load while limiting friction so the shaft or hub turns freely.
- Cataloged positions: fits front, rear, rear inner, rear rearward, front forward, and front rearward locations depending on the vehicle — check the Buyer's Guide for your application.
A worn bearing often shows up as a humming, growling, or whining noise that changes with speed, roughness or play when the shaft or hub is turned, or vibration. If a failed bearing is the cause of those signs, replacing it with the 6306-J restores smooth support at that location. Diagnose the source before replacing, as these symptoms can have other causes.
