Frequently asked questions

What is the 530985 swivel pin shim used for?

The 530985 swivel pin shim is 0.005 inch thick and fits at the front axle swivel pin housing on Land Rover Series 2 and 3. It sits under the swivel pin to set the swivel bearing preload and pin alignment. The right thickness is chosen on assembly to reach the specified preload.

How many swivel pin shims do I need?

Swivel pin shims are selected by thickness, used alone or stacked in combination, to set the correct preload on each swivel. The number needed varies by axle, so they're usually fitted by trial during assembly rather than to a fixed count. This 0.005 inch shim is the finest adjustment increment.

What's the difference between the 0.005, 0.010 and 0.030 swivel pin shims?

The difference is thickness: 0.005, 0.010 and 0.030 inch. They're the same shim in different sizes, combined to set the swivel pin preload precisely. The 0.005 inch shim is used for fine adjustment and the thicker shims for coarser setup. You'll often need a mix to hit the target preload.
