Yukon Chrysler 11.5" Full Float Rear Wheel Bearing & Seal Kit - Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500
AK C11.5
The Yukon Chrysler 11.5" Full Float Rear Wheel Bearing & Seal Kit provides the inner and outer wheel bearings, matching races, and wheel seal needed to service one rear wheel end on compatible Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty trucks. Whether you're replacing worn hub bearings, fixing a leaking wheel seal, or refreshing a rear axle during a larger drivetrain repair, this kit brings the major service components together. It's a practical replacement for tow rigs, work trucks, fleet vehicles, and off-road builds that put serious mileage and weight on their rear axle assemblies.
The Chrysler 11.5" full-float rear axle is built to handle heavy loads, but the wheel-end bearings and seals still take a beating from towing, larger tires, and regular use. Worn bearings can create excessive hub movement, noise, heat, and damage to the spindle or hub if left unchecked. This Yukon kit includes both bearings, their matching races, and a wheel seal so the major wear components can be replaced together. Before installation, inspect the spindle, hub bearing surfaces, and seal contact area to make sure everything is ready for the new parts.
Includes:
- (1) Inner Rear Wheel Bearing
- (1) Outer Rear Wheel Bearing
- Matching Inner & Outer Bearing Races
- (1) Rear Wheel Seal
Important: This kit services one rear wheel end. Order quantity (2) to service both sides of a compatible rear axle. Verify the installed axle and wheel bearing configuration before ordering.

Builder Note: Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks were produced with different rear axle and wheel-end configurations. Don't select a bearing kit based on the truck model alone. Confirm the installed 11.5" axle, hub, spindle, and bearing arrangement before ordering, especially on trucks that have been modified or axle-swapped.
FAQ
What comes in the Yukon AK C11.5 bearing kit?
This kit includes one inner wheel bearing, one outer wheel bearing, matching bearing races, and one wheel seal. It provides the major components needed to service one rear wheel end on a compatible Chrysler 11.5" full-float axle.
Will this kit fit my Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500?
This kit is listed for compatible 2003–2013 Dodge Ram and Ram 2500/3500 applications equipped with Chrysler 11.5" rear axles. Verify the installed axle and wheel-end configuration before ordering because different axle options were available.
What is the difference between a full-float and semi-float rear axle?
A full-float axle uses a separate hub and wheel bearing assembly to support vehicle weight while the axle shaft primarily transfers driving torque. A semi-float axle shaft supports both vehicle weight and driving torque. This kit is designed for compatible full-float wheel-end assemblies.
Does this kit include bearings and seals for both rear wheels?
No. This kit services one rear wheel end. Order quantity (2) to replace the bearings and seals on both sides of a compatible rear axle.
What are common signs of worn rear wheel bearings?
Common symptoms include humming or grinding noises, excessive hub movement, vibration, abnormal wheel-end heat, and leaking gear oil. Inspect the bearings, seals, hub, and spindle to identify the cause before replacing components.
Should I replace the bearing races when replacing wheel bearings?
Yes. Bearings and races work together as mating surfaces and should generally be replaced together during wheel-end service. This kit includes the matching races for both the inner and outer bearings.
Can this kit be used when rebuilding a rear axle?
Yes. Replacing worn wheel bearings and seals during a larger axle rebuild is a good way to refresh the wheel-end components while the axle is already disassembled. Confirm the kit matches the installed axle before beginning the repair.
Does this kit include differential carrier or pinion bearings?
No. This is a rear wheel-end bearing and seal kit. It does not include carrier bearings, pinion bearings, or ring and pinion setup components located inside the differential center section.
What should I inspect during a full-float wheel bearing replacement?
Inspect the spindle journals, hub bearing bores, wheel seal contact surfaces, and retaining hardware. Look for scoring, heat discoloration, corrosion, or abnormal wear. Follow the axle manufacturer's bearing adjustment and lubrication procedures during reassembly.
