If you're diving into the world of clutches and release bearings, the Advanced Clutch Release Bearing RB1714 is one piece of gear you won't want to overlook.

Now, let?s talk about what makes this bearing a keeper. First off, it?s crafted with precision that rivals OE standards, so you know you?re getting something that fits just right. The RB1714 is made from quality steel, which gives it a robust feel and ensures it can handle the demands of your ride.

In terms of dimensions, it measures an inside diameter of 1.43 inches (or 36.3 mm) and an outside diameter of 2.73 inches (69.3 mm). It's designed to be self-aligning, which is a huge plus when you're working under the hood. The bearing type is ball, and it comes sealed, so you can count on it to keep dirt and grime at bay. Weighing in at just 0.6 pounds, it?s lightweight but doesn?t skimp on durability.

Here?s a quick rundown of where this beauty fits:

  • Ford Mustang from 1979 to 2004
  • Ford Mustang GT from 1986 to 2004
  • Ford Mustang SVT Cobra models from 1993-1999, 2001, and 2003-2004
  • Mercury Capri from 1986

So, if you're looking to replace your old release bearing, the RB1714 is a solid choice. It?s got the specs, the build quality, and the fitment to keep your Mustang or Capri running smoothly. Trust me, once you experience the difference, you won?t want to go back.
