Yukon Super 35 / Super 44 Rear Axle Bearing & Seal Kit
AK M35-SUPER
The Yukon Super 35 / Super 44 Rear Axle Bearing & Seal Kit provides the replacement bearing and seal needed to service one side of a compatible upgraded rear axle assembly. Whether you're replacing a noisy axle bearing, repairing a leaking seal, or refreshing the axle during a larger drivetrain project, this kit helps restore proper axle shaft support and sealing. It's a practical service option for Jeep trail rigs and custom off-road builds running compatible Super 35 or Super 44 axle configurations.
Upgraded axle shafts, larger tires, and regular trail use put additional demands on wheel-end bearings and seals. This Yukon kit includes one axle bearing and one seal so both components can be serviced together instead of reusing worn parts. The important part is matching the bearing and seal to the installed axle shaft and housing, especially on Super 35 and Super 44 builds that may use different components than the original factory axle.
Includes:
- (1) Rear Axle Bearing
- (1) Rear Axle Seal
Important: This kit services one axle side. Order quantity (2) to service both sides of a compatible rear axle. Verify the installed axle configuration, bearing dimensions, and seal compatibility before ordering.

FAQ
What comes in the Yukon AK M35-SUPER bearing kit?
This kit includes one rear axle bearing and one axle seal. It is designed to service one side of a compatible Super 35 or Super 44 rear axle assembly.
Will this fit a standard Dana 35 or Dana 44 axle?
Not necessarily. This kit is listed for compatible Super 35 and Super 44 axle configurations, which may use different axle shafts, bearings, or seals than standard factory assemblies. Verify the installed axle components before ordering.
What is the difference between a standard Dana 35 and a Super 35 axle?
A Super 35 generally refers to an upgraded Dana 35 axle package using stronger aftermarket axle shafts and compatible differential components. The exact parts depend on the conversion, so the wheel-end bearing and seal requirements must be verified for the installed setup.
Does this kit include bearings and seals for both sides?
No. One kit includes one axle bearing and one seal for a single axle side. Order quantity (2) to service both sides of a compatible rear axle.
What are common signs of a worn rear axle bearing?
Common symptoms include humming or grinding noises, vibration, unwanted axle shaft movement, and gear oil leaking near the axle end. Inspect the bearing, seal, axle shaft, and housing to determine the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace the axle seal when replacing the bearing?
Yes. Replacing the seal during bearing service is good practice, especially when the original seal has been disturbed or shows signs of wear. This kit includes both components so they can be serviced together.
Can I install this kit during a locker or gear upgrade?
Yes, if the bearing and seal match the installed axle configuration. Servicing worn wheel-end components during a larger axle rebuild can help reduce future labor, but these bearings and seals are separate from the carrier and pinion bearings used during differential gear setup.
What should I inspect before installing new axle bearings?
Inspect the axle shaft bearing journal, housing bore, seal contact area, and retaining components. Look for scoring, grooves, corrosion, or damage that could shorten bearing life or prevent the seal from working correctly.
