Genuine Suzuki Front Differential Pinion Bearing - No 18

Genuine Suzuki Front Differential Pinion Bearing – 09265-30017F (No. 18)

Description:
This is a genuine Suzuki front differential pinion bearing for the Suzuki Jimny. This taper roller bearing is the one that sits closest to the propshaft flange, supporting the outer end of the pinion shaft. It maintains correct pinion alignment and preload, ensuring smooth rotation and accurate engagement with the crown gear. A worn pinion bearing often causes whining or rumbling noises, especially under acceleration or deceleration.

Key Features:

• OEM genuine Suzuki taper roller bearing for the outer pinion position.

• This is the bearing that sits closest to the propshaft flange.

• Maintains correct pinion preload and prevents gear misalignment.

• Reduces differential noise and prolongs gear and seal life.

• Direct replacement for Suzuki part number 09265-30017F.

Notes:
Always replace pinion bearings as a pair (inner + outer) for correct preload. Check bearing races, pinion shims, and oil seal while rebuilding. Proper preload and gear tooth pattern are essential for long differential life.
