Frequently asked questions

What is the 576236 differential shim for?

The 576236 differential shim is a 0.062in bearing shim used to set differential bearing preload and pinion position in the axle. Correct shimming keeps the crownwheel and pinion properly meshed. Fits Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic differentials.

Which models and axles does this fit?

Fits the Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998), and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994) differentials, front or rear depending on VIN. Check your VIN, as some applications have specific chassis breaks. It suits both 2-pinion and 4-pinion axles per the fitment notes.

How do I know which shim thickness I need?

Shim thickness is set by measuring bearing preload and backlash during differential setup, not by guesswork. This is the 0.062in shim; differential rebuilds typically use a range of shim thicknesses to reach the correct specification.

Is this a DIY job?

Differential shimming is a specialist job. Setting pinion depth and bearing preload needs a dial gauge and torque measurement, so it's usually done by someone experienced with axle rebuilds. Getting it wrong causes noise and premature wear.
