Over years of highway commuting or trail riding, the internal rollers of these factory bearings wear down, producing a low-pitched howling or growling noise from the rear end that escalates with vehicle speed. As the bearing degrades, it forces the axle shaft to rotate out of true alignment, rapidly tearing through the outer oil seal. A compromised seal allows highly pressurized differential gear oil to weep out onto your rear brake backing plates, ruining emergency brake shoes, contaminating brake pads, and risking catastrophic internal gear failure due to fluid starvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCrucially, when replacing a press-fit wheel bearing on these axles, the factory bearing retainer ring (locking collar) is distorted during removal and must never be reused. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement kit features a premium tapered roller bearing assembly forged from high-grade steel alongside a brand-new, high-tensile strength press-fit retainer ring to safely lock the assembly to the axle shaft. Sourcing a genuine Spicer kit ensures perfect metallurgical construction and factory tolerances, preventing loose components or premature wheel-end failure. To complete the job, this single-side service package bundles the primary wheel bearing and locking collar with a premium multi-lip outer oil seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKit Contents (Components Service One Rear Wheel End):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e(1) Genuine Spicer Premium Tapered Rear Wheel Bearing Assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e(1) Genuine Spicer Heavy-Duty Press-Fit Axle Shaft Bearing Retainer Ring (Locking Collar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e(1) Genuine Spicer Premium Multi-Lip Rear Axle Shaft Outer Oil Seal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKit Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSingle-Side Maintenance Solution:\u003c\/b\u003e Supplies exactly enough factory-correct hardware to fully overhaul either the left (driver) or right (passenger) rear outer axle wheel end. \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"174\"\u003e(Note: If overhauling the entire rear axle assembly, two kits are required).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncludes High-Tensile Retainer:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a new press-fit locking ring required to safely secure the axle shaft inside the housing, eliminating the dangers of reusing old or stretched hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStops Differential Fluid Leaks:\u003c\/b\u003e Features an advanced multi-lip elastomeric seal designed to securely lock synthetic gear lubrication inside the axle tubes, protecting rear brake components from oil contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRestores Quiet Operation:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates outer axle shaft slack to instantly clear up low-speed howling or growling noises caused by pitted or neglected wheel bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVehicle \u0026amp; Axle Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAxle Profiles:\u003c\/b\u003e Semi-Floating Solid Rear \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"40\"\u003eDana 35 and Dana 44 (Dana 44A \/ Aluminum HD) Axles\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"92\"\u003eFits standard and Quadra-Drive rear axle configurations.
