Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC1201 differential shim used for?
The FRC1201 is a 0.068in 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 diff used on the Series 2 and 3, Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic.
How do I know if I need the 0.068in shim?
The 0.068in is one thickness in a range of pinion shims, and the correct size is set by measurement during pinion bearing preload setup. Confirm your differential is the Rover 10-spline type, then choose the shim thickness from your measured preload figure.
Where does the FRC1201 shim sit in the differential?
The FRC1201 shim sits behind the pinion outer bearing in the Rover-type 10-spline differential, where it controls pinion bearing preload. It's a drivetrain setup part fitted during diff build, and the 0.068in thickness must match what your bearing setup calls for.
