Frequently asked questions

What does the differential pinion shim do?
The differential pinion shim sets pinion depth and bearing preload when building or overhauling the axle. It fits between the pinion head and its bearing, and its thickness is chosen against measured clearances to position the pinion correctly against the crownwheel.
How do I know which shim thickness I need?
Shim thickness is selected against the clearances measured during differential setup, not chosen in advance. This one is 0.052in. Pinion depth shims are typically fitted from a range, so you usually measure first, then pick the size that gives the correct preload and mesh.
Which axles does this shim fit?
This shim fits the front differential on the Defender (up to 2016) and Range Rover Classic, and the rear differential on the Discovery 1. On the Land Rover-type axle it covers both the 2-pinion axle up to VIN KA930455 and the 4-pinion axle.
