What is an axle shaft bearing and how does it work?

Many rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive vehicles rely on a set of bearings to suspend the drive axle so that it can rotate freely with minimal friction. The axle shaft bearing is mounted in the axle housing at the end closest to the wheel. When the axle shaft is inserted into the axle housing, it passes through the bearing and into the differential (gear box).
Made of high strength steel to support the weight of your vehicle, the axle bearings are pressed into the axle housing and are lubricated with the gear oil that is also installed in the housing.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

How do I know if my vehicle needs a new axle shaft bearing?

If an axle shaft bearing fails, the axle will no longer be supported and will eventually rub against the edge of the axle assembly where the axle exits the housing. As it fails, the bearing will often produce telltale signs, including:

HOW IS THIS SERVICE PERFORMED?

How is a an Axle Shaft Bearing Replacement done?

To replace an axle shaft bearing, a technician must safely lift and support your vehicle in the air for access to the component. With the wheel and tire removed, the technician will follow these general steps:

Drain all of the gear oil from the axle housing (differential) and remove the rear housing cover
Detach the inner end of the axle shaft from the inside of the differential so that the shaft can be extracted from the housing
With the axle shaft out of the way, the pressed-in bearings are pulled from the housing with special tools before a new bearing set is pressed into place
Reinsert the axle shaft into the housing and fasten
Reinstall the axle housing/differential cover with a fresh gasket (if applicable)
Fill the axle assembly with fresh gear oil and reinstall the wheel and tire
Note - If proper procedures are not followed when removing and installing the pressed bearings, significant damage can occur to the axle housing that can cause complete failure of the component.
