What is a differential bearing?
Differentials: Side Bearings Side bearings are tapered bearings pressed onto the differential case that allow the case to spin inside the carrier. If this adjustment is too loose, the differential case will move in the carrier, resulting in damage to internal components like the ring and pinion gear.
What does a pinion bearing do?
Pinion bearings are designed to reduce friction in the direction of desirable movement, increasing efficiency. In drive differentials, pinion bearings help the smallest gears in the differential work smoothly.
How much does a differential rebuild cost?
Most differential repairs will cost between $200 and $400 to repair. Of course, this depends on the severity of the defect and what parts need to be replaced. For a rebuilt differential, you might need to spend between $400 and $1,000. On the other hand, replacing a differential costs $1,000 to $2,000 on average.
How much does a rear differential rebuild cost?
The average replacement cost for a whole rear differential is between $1000 and $4000. Luckily, you can just repair it or replace it with a used differential, which will decrease the costs a lot. Most differential repairs will cost between $200 and $400 to repair.
How much is a rear differential repair?
Combined with the few hours of labor required for their replacement, the typical rear differential cost of repair is between $200 and $400. If gears are required, that number jumps a bunch. Rear differential repairs that include a new gear set may be $1,500 or even higher between parts and the labor to replace them.
What is a seal driver kit?
OTC’s Bearing Race & Seal Driver Set permits installation of tapered bearing races and seals without damage to the component or housing. Use the tapered side of the driver to install races. Invert the driver to the flat side to install seals.
How much does a pinion bearing cost?
Q: How much does it cost to replace a pinion bearing? The replacement of a pinion bearing would cost an average of $239 – $286. Parts are estimated to cost about $66 – $68, while the labor costs would be around $173 – $218.
