Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC1197 differential shim used for?
The FRC1197 is a 0.064in pinion bearing shim for the Rover-type 10-spline differential. It sets the preload on the pinion outer bearing during differential assembly or rebuild. It fits the Rover-type diff used on the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
How do I know if I need the 0.064in shim?
The 0.064in is one thickness in a range of pinion shims, and the correct size is set by measurement during pinion bearing preload setup, not by guesswork. Confirm your differential is the Rover 10-spline type, then select the shim thickness from the measured preload.
Where does the FRC1197 shim sit in the differential?
The FRC1197 shim sits behind the pinion outer bearing in the Rover-type 10-spline differential, where it controls pinion bearing preload. It's part of the drivetrain, fitted during diff build, and the 0.064in thickness must match the figure your setup calls for.
