GMC Sonoma Pinion Bearing

The GMC Sonoma Pinion Bearing ensures that the differential's pinion gear keeps spinning smoothly so that engine torque goes to the rear wheels without grinding or wobbling. In GMC rear drive setups, this Pinion Bearing is located at the front of the gear set and bears radial and thrust loads with a film of differential fluid to limit friction. When that fluid is low, the Pinion Bearing gets hotter and starts humming, which warns drivers before gears start to scar. Throughout the production run, Sonoma trucks relied on the same tapered roller style Pinion Bearing inside both open and limited slip differentials due to the cone and cup design of the Pinion Bearing that handles high loads and keeps the pinion in perfect alignment. The open diff evenly divides torque, whereas the limited slip pairs the bearing to clutch packs that redirect additional power to the wheel with grip, but in either case the function of the bearing never changes. Timely fluid checks every few thousand miles allow every GMC fan to keep a durable Sonoma rolling confidently, and experienced GMC Sonoma drivers can put an end to a troubled Pinion Bearing before it can spread damage.

Each OEM GMC Sonoma Pinion Bearing we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
