Swivel Pin Shim for the front axle swivel housing assembly. This 0.030" shim is fitted beneath the upper swivel pin retaining plate and is used to set the swivel pin bearing preload, controlling the pivoting resistance and free play of the steering swivel.

Shims of differing thickness are selected during assembly to bring the swivel pin preload to specification; the 0.030" size is one increment in that range.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 530987 swivel pin shim do?
The 530987 swivel pin shim is 0.030 inch thick and fits in the front axle swivel housing on Land Rover Series 2 and 3. It sets the swivel pin bearing preload, controlling the pivoting resistance and free play of the steering swivel. Shims are selected by thickness on assembly to reach the specified preload.
How many 0.030 swivel pin shims will I need?
Swivel pin shims are selected by thickness, used alone or combined, to set the correct preload, so the count varies by axle. The 0.030 inch shim is the thickest of the range and handles coarser adjustment. The exact combination is set by trial during swivel assembly.
What's the difference between the 0.030 shim and the thinner swivel pin shims?
The 0.030 inch shim is the thickest swivel pin shim, used for coarser preload adjustment, while the 0.005 and 0.010 inch sizes handle finer changes. They're stacked in combination to set the swivel pin preload to specification. Pick the mix that brings your swivel to the right preload.
