Shim for setting up the pinion in the Salisbury axle differential, 0.005 in thick.

Used during differential assembly to set the pinion height and preload, the shim is selected from a graded range of thicknesses and fitted behind the pinion bearing to position the pinion correctly against the crown wheel. Thicker and thinner shims in the same range allow the setup to be adjusted in fine increments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 607178 shim used for?
The 607178 is a 0.005 in thick shim used to set up the pinion in a Salisbury axle differential, positioning the pinion correctly against the crown wheel during assembly.
How is this shim used during a differential rebuild?
It's fitted behind the pinion bearing to set the pinion's height and preload, selected from a graded range of thicknesses so the setup can be fine-tuned in small increments.
Do I need more than one of these shims?
The exact combination depends on your specific differential's measured pinion depth, so a rebuild typically requires a mix of thicknesses from the graded range rather than a fixed quantity of any single shim.
What tools are needed to set pinion shims correctly?
Setting pinion depth accurately typically requires a dial gauge or pinion depth tool along with a torque wrench, since it's a precision measurement job best suited to an experienced differential rebuilder rather than routine DIY.
