Everything is high-quality, and you can trust that each piece has been carefully selected for your specific application.

Inside the box, you’ll find all the essentials: carrier bearings and races, pinion bearings and races, a pinion seal, a crush sleeve, and even some marking compound with a brush to make your setup easier. It’s like they thought of everything you might need, so you can focus on getting your ride back on the road.

Now, if you’re wondering if it fits your vehicle, here’s the scoop: this kit is compatible with a range of models from 1983 to 1997, including the Chevrolet Astro, S10, GMC Jimmy, S15, Sonoma, Typhoon, and even the Oldsmobile Bravada. So, if you’re working on any of those, you’re in luck.

In short, if you want a reliable, no-nonsense bearing installation kit that won’t drain your wallet, the Yukon kit is worth considering. It’s built for those who appreciate quality and performance without the frills.
