Optimise Differential for Circuit Racing

The Serpent 500173 Ball Differential Thrust Bearing is designed to reduce friction and keep SRX2 differential action consistent under load. Precision finishing and sturdy construction help it resist wear during extended sessions, preserving handling characteristics. Use it as part of preventative maintenance to keep the differential operating true and reliable.

Is this bearing compatible with aftermarket diff kits?

Compatibility depends on kit geometry. Many SRX2-compatible aftermarket kits accept this bearing, but confirm bore size and seating before purchase.

What signs indicate bearing wear?

Listen for roughness or grinding and feel for uneven rotation when spun by hand. Visible scoring or play means it should be replaced to protect the diff internals.

Can I fit this during a regular service?

Yes. Fitting the bearing during a standard differential strip and clean is recommended to ensure correct seating and lubricant application.

Will this affect diff longevity?

By lowering friction and spreading loads more evenly, the bearing can help extend the life of gears and cups when combined with proper maintenance.

What lubricant should I use after fitting?

A light synthetic bearing oil or a thin diff grease is suitable. Avoid heavy pastes that may prevent the bearing from spinning freely.
