the pinion bearing in the front diff of my 2005 xlt is shot. i want to rebuild the diff and install all new seals but i am unsure of the correct bearing and seal kit i need? i was looking at this TIMKEN Part # DRK335 kit on rock auto. is this the correct kit i need? any help would be appreciated. i am a mechanic so doing the work is not a big deal but i am a lousy parts guy lol

 

Not sure about the Timken number but the National one would be RA335.

 

both those part numbers cross reference as the same.

Makes sense... National and Timken numbers are usually the same!

 

awesome! thanks a lot guys. just ordered the kit. i also ordered the power steering rack rebuild kit. never going to find a better time to fix a leaking seal then when the diff is out!
