Ok guys....I got a number off of the bearings. They are made by SKF, and the part number is BT1-0384/Q. Now, I'm having a hard time finding the bearings....lol

Well, I have finally gotten the rear differential out so I can see the bearings. I'm going to have to try and find some kind of bearing puller to get them out now. I'll let you know if I can find the parts.

I just have to comment on this. I have an issue with my 2009 AWD Journey, 3.5L SXT. The passenger differential side bearing has gone out on it, and I want to replace both side bearings while I have the differential out. The Dodge dealers (I have called 3) keep telling me I can't order the bearings, and I have to replace the whole differential. I'm sorry, I'm not paying 950$ for a new differential when the gears look brand new. If I find the right bearings and races, Timken tells me I'd be out the door for less than 90$ by putting in the new bearings from them if I can get them the numbers off of them. It's ridiculous, because companies are selling remanufactured differentials, and those bearings have to come from somewhere. Short version, I have replaced everything in the drivetrain except the engine, at this point. Transmission, Transfer case, all four wheel hubs, cv axles, and brake calipers to boot. I'll never buy another Dodge. I promise you that.

I know somebody makes the bearings, because they sell rebuilt ones. I just need a number off of them so I can replace them. Even Dodge keeps trying to sell me a whole differential at $950. I'm not paying that when the gears are fine and I can probably replace all three bearings and races for less than 70$. I even already have new seals.

No parts store sells the bearings. I'm not having a lot of luck. Rock Auto was my first try.

Good morning. I have a question for you smart folks. I have a 2009 Journey SXT AWD with the 3.5L. I have had a noise from the right rear for a while. I already replaced both rear hubs and brake calipers. I finally diagnosed it as a failed side bearing on the right side of the differential. Here is my question: I need to get new side bearings and races, along with the axle seals. I found the new seals easily. However, even Dodge can't give me a part number for the differential side bearings or races. This is a simple fix, and all they will sell me is a whole new differential. That seems ridiculous to me, especially since there is not a thing wrong with anything else in the differential. I have put side bearings in rear differentials a couple of times, and it's really a piece of cake on a workbench. Can any of you direct me to the correct side bearings? I know someone makes them, because you can find rebuilt ones available for sale. By the way, the Rear Differential part number is 5157002AB. Thanks in advance.
