Diff Bearings!

(1/4) > >>

LANDYTIM:
Having a problem with yet another set of bearings! The bearings in my rear diff casing have gone and I was wondering if it is possible to replace these bearings? If so how much? where from? and how easy is it?

All input appriciated!

Cheers
Tim

Budgie:
I'm sure if you give Ashcrofts a ring then they will be able to help you.  :wink:

muddyweb:
It is perfectly possible.   Which bearings have failed ?

The real question maybe should be "why they are failing ?"

LANDYTIM:
this is the first set in the diff casing that have gone. I had a set off wheel bearings go but the guy at the garage said that was just wear and tear.....

What could cause the diff casing bearings to fail?

cheers
Tim.

muddyweb:
Ah, OK... misunderstood... I read that as being another set of diff bearings.

In my experience one of the main reasons for diff bearing failures is oil contamination.  They do fail through wear and tear of course as well.
