Product Details

When you're rebuilding the differential in your GM 8.5-inch rear end, getting the right bearings and seals is crucial for a smooth, quiet operation. This Yukon Gear & Axle Bearing Installation Kit is designed for that exact purpose, offering a cost-effective way to get all the small parts you need without buying a full overhaul kit if you already have your shims on hand. It's a popular choice for shops and builders who know what they're doing and want to ensure a proper setup.

Inside this kit, you'll find high-quality Timken bearings and races for both the carrier and the pinion. These are well-known for their durability and precision. You also get a new pinion seal to prevent leaks, a crush sleeve for setting proper pinion depth, and even marking compound with a brush to help you dial in the gear pattern. Yukon does the legwork to make sure all these components are correct for the GM 8.5-inch rear axle, so you can focus on the installation.

This kit is a solid option for a wide range of GM vehicles, from classic muscle cars like the Chevrolet Chevelle and Buick Skylark to trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet C1500 and Cadillac Escalade. It's a smart way to ensure your differential rebuild goes smoothly with reliable parts.
