Frequently asked questions

What is the 0.005in swivel pin housing shim for?
The 0.005in (0.13mm) swivel pin housing shim sets the bearing preload in the front axle swivel pin housing. It fits in the shim pack beneath the upper swivel pin retaining plate, adjusting the stack height so the swivel pivots with the correct preload. Fits Land Rover Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic front axles.
How do I choose the right shim thickness?
Shim thickness sets the swivel pin bearing preload, and this one is 0.005in (0.13mm). Swivel pin housing shims come in several thicknesses that combine into a pack to reach the target preload. Build the stack to the workshop manual figure on your Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic front axle.
How many 0.005in shims will I need?
The number of 0.005in shims depends on the preload measured during assembly, so it isn't fixed. They're used in a stack with other thicknesses to fine-tune swivel pin preload on the Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic front axle. Order enough to build the pack to the required figure.
