Tech Note 1: Fitment
This Bearing fits a number of New Process chain drive transfer cases in Chevy, Dodge, and GMC 4x4 vehicles. However, it does not fit all years or even all cases in one model year as some transfer cases used a narrow bearing and some have a wider bearing. This QU50873 wide bearing is approximately 15/16" (23.7mm) wide, the narrow bearing (QU50158) is approximately 5/8" (16mm) wide. These two bearings are NOT interchangeable! Please see the Application section below for specific fitment information that we have verified.
