Frequently asked questions

What is the FRC1203 differential shim used for?

The FRC1203 is a 0.070in 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 0.070in shim?

The 0.070in is one thickness in a range of pinion shims, and the right size is set by measurement during pinion bearing preload setup. Confirm your differential is the Rover 10-spline type, then select the shim thickness from your measured preload figure.

Where does the FRC1203 shim sit in the differential?

The FRC1203 shim sits behind the pinion outer bearing in the Rover-type 10-spline differential, controlling pinion bearing preload. It's a drivetrain setup component fitted during diff build, and the 0.070in thickness must match the figure your bearing setup calls for.
