Dorman 797-105 Differential Bearing Kit - Rear
Differential Bearing Kit for Rear Axles
Dorman 797-105 is a premium differential bearing kit for rear differential service on select Chevrolet and GMC applications with an 8.875-inch ring gear. It is built with high-precision tapered bearings and matched service components to support accurate differential setup and long service life.
Use this kit when rebuilding the rear differential in vehicles such as Chevrolet C10, K10, and K5 Blazer, or GMC Jimmy and C1500 applications. The Dorman 797-105 package helps reduce the time spent sourcing individual differential service parts.
Key Features
- Premium differential bearing kit for front or rear differential repair, with rear fitment listed for this application
- High-precision tapered bearings manufactured to tighter tolerances
- Engineered for durability under differential torque loads
- Includes bearing races, shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound
- Designed for vehicles with an 8.875-inch ring gear and 12-ring-gear-bolt configuration
- Steel bearing construction
- Part number 797-105 for easy identification
Detailed Description
Dorman 797-105 is a differential bearing kit intended for rear axle service on a wide range of classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans, and SUVs. Fitment includes 1975-1982 Chevrolet C10 and K10, 1975-1981 Chevrolet C20, 1975-1981 Chevrolet G10 and G20, 1975-1981 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 1970-1981 GMC Jimmy, and related C1500, K1500, C2500, and G-series applications with an 8.875-inch ring gear. The kit is also listed for select 1964-1966 GMC G1500 and G1000 Series models.
Built around tapered steel bearings, this kit is aimed at differential rebuilds where bearing precision, race fit, and setup accuracy matter. The included races, shims, pinion nut, seals, and marking compound support differential assembly and gear pattern verification. If you are servicing a rear differential on a Chevrolet C10, GMC K1500, or GMC Jimmy, this kit provides the core components needed for bearing replacement and setup.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Excess differential bearing noise
- Rough or worn bearing surfaces during rebuild
- Improper gear mesh caused by worn bearings or races
- Backlash issues related to bearing wear
- Time lost sourcing separate differential service components
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify ring gear diameter, pinion spline count, and bearing dimensions before ordering. This kit lists multiple cone and race dimensions, so confirm the application against your differential specifications and fitment details. During installation, inspect the housing, gears, and carrier for wear, and use the included marking compound to check gear contact pattern after setup.
Quality Assurance
Dorman designs this premium differential kit with tighter manufacturing tolerances than common lower-grade bearings to support long-term service in differential rebuilds. Review the product attributes and vehicle fitment carefully to confirm the correct application before installation.
