The 3.062-inch bearing journal in this Ford 9-inch third member case is a critical specification that determines the size of the carrier bearings used to support the differential within the housing. This measurement refers to the outer diameter of the carrier bearing bore in the case.

A 3.062-inch bearing journal is commonly used with 28-spline and 31-spline differentials, making it a versatile choice for many applications. It provides a balance between strength and compatibility, suitable for high-performance street and moderate off-road use. However, it is not compatible with 35-spline differentials, which require a larger 3.250-inch bearing journal to accommodate the increased size and strength of the components.

When selecting a third member case, it's essential to match the bearing journal size with your differential's specifications to ensure proper fitment and optimal performance. Using the correct bearing journal size helps maintain the structural integrity of the rear end and ensures reliable operation under various driving conditions.

If you need assistance determining the appropriate bearing journal size for your specific application or have further questions about Ford 9-inch third member cases, feel free to ask.

Built for strength - this nodular iron Ford 9-inch case offers the durability needed for high-torque applications, ensuring your rear end can handle the power.
