This small pinion bearing is located within the front or rear differential housing (diff centre) on Nissan Patrol models equipped with the H233 differential. It is one of two bearings that support the pinion gear, ensuring it spins smoothly and maintains correct alignment with the crown wheel gear.
Over time, differential bearings can wear out due to immense pressure, heat, and potential oil contamination. A worn pinion bearing is a common cause of a whining or humming noise from the differential, which often changes pitch with vehicle speed. Replacing this bearing is essential during a differential rebuild or when signs of wear become apparent to restore quiet and reliable operation.
