The short version
- A 1997 F350 wheel bearing is either the 2WD serviceable set or the 4×4 solid axle set. Nothing on this truck bolts on as one unit.
- 2WD trucks use inner cone and cup LM102949-LM102910 with seal 4160, the whole 1992 to 1997 span.
- 4×4 trucks use inner 387A-382A with seal 415960. The outer cone follows the specific axle build.
- There is no 1998 F350 row here. The Super Duty numbering starts fresh at 1999.
One hardware story covers every Ford F350 built from 1992 through 1997. This page covers that span only, before the Super Duty numbering arrives in 1999. Both ends of the truck use serviceable tapered bearings, never a bolt on hub.
Ford F350 wheel bearing numbers by axle
Both setups use tapered cone and cup pairs. They get packed and adjusted rather than replaced as a unit.
The rear axle carries its own bearing, seal 370047A on the full floating 10.25 inch axle.

This page covers the 1992-1997 Ford F350: 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997. Other years live on the main Ford F350 wheel bearing page.
Nothing on this F350 is a bolt on hub. Both ends are serviceable tapered bearings.
The outer cone on 4×4 trucks follows the axle build, so matching the number the old part carries is the safest route. The rear is axle bearing territory as well.
Year by year
One hardware story covers 1992 through 1997, front and rear alike. Nothing changes year to year in this span.
A 1997 F350 wheel bearing question has the same answer as a 1993 one, provided the axle and drive type match.
No 1998 F350 row exists here. The Super Duty picks up its own numbering at 1999.
One story, no mid cycle changes
This F350 shares its hardware across six model years straight, unlike many trucks that split numbers mid cycle. The next chapter starts on the 1999-2004 F350 page, with its own numbering.
The 4×4 solid axle outer cone is the one detail that moves with the specific axle build, not the calendar. A 1997 F350 wheel bearing order should always start with that axle tag.
Diagnosing a Ford F350 wheel bearing
- Rule out the tires first. Uneven wear or a separating belt can sound like a bad bearing. Compare against tire noise or wheel bearing symptoms.
- Check for play. Jack up the wheel and rock it at twelve and six. See how to check a wheel bearing for the full steps.
- Know the serviceable sets. Both ends of this truck use tapered cone and cup pairs. See repacking a wheel bearing before buying new cones.
- Set preload correctly. A tapered set that is too tight or too loose fails fast. See preload and end play for the adjustment.
- Confirm axle and drive type. 2WD and 4×4 solid axle trucks take different cones entirely. Match the axle under the truck before ordering.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 1997 Ford F350 use?
A 1997 F350 wheel bearing is LM102949-LM102910 on 2WD trucks. 4×4 trucks with the solid axle use 387A-382A instead. Both are serviceable tapered sets, not hub assemblies.
What wheel bearing does a 1993 Ford F350 use?
A 1993 F350 uses the exact same setup as 1997. That means LM102949-LM102910 on 2WD, or 387A-382A on 4×4. Nothing changes across this generation.
Does the 1998 F350 use the same wheel bearing?
No documented row exists for a 1998 F350 here. The Super Duty numbering begins fresh in 1999, on its own page.
Is the F350 rear bearing a hub assembly?
No. The full floating 10.25 inch rear axle uses seal 370047A with inner bearing 3994-3920, axle bearing work rather than a hub swap.
Why does the 4×4 outer cone vary on this truck?
The outer cone on 4×4 trucks follows the specific axle build under the truck. The catalogs point to matching the number the old part carries, not guessing.
