Differential Carrier Bearing is a taper roller bearing that supports the differential carrier within the axle, as part of the crownwheel and pinion assembly.

It locates the carrier in the axle casing and carries the load transmitted through the crownwheel, setting the carrier's running position and preload. This bearing fits the Rover-type two-pin differential.

The correct bearing depends on the axle and differential type fitted, so confirm your axle before ordering. Sold individually.

Frequently asked questions

What does the differential carrier bearing do?
The differential carrier bearing is a taper roller bearing that supports the differential carrier inside the axle, as part of the crownwheel and pinion assembly. It locates the carrier in the axle casing and carries the load through the crownwheel, setting the carrier's running position and preload.
How many carrier bearings does a differential need?
A differential typically uses two carrier bearings, one on each side of the diff carrier. This bearing is sold individually, so order two if you're rebuilding a single differential. Land Rover axles have separate front and rear diffs.
Which axles and models does this carrier bearing fit?
This bearing fits the Rover-type two-pin differential on the Land Rover Series 3, Defender (1987-2006, Land Rover type axle to VKA930455), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994, VIN break HA610293/JA610294). Confirm your axle and diff type before ordering.
What are the signs of a worn differential carrier bearing?
A worn differential carrier bearing typically produces a whine or rumble from the axle that changes with speed, and can allow play in the crownwheel and pinion mesh. Left unchecked it can damage the gear set. Carrier bearings are usually renewed as a pair during a diff rebuild.
