Swivel Pin Housing Shim - 0.25mm (0.010") for the front axle swivel pin housing assembly.

This precision shim is fitted between the swivel pin housing and the axle casing to set the correct pre-load on the swivel pin housing taper roller bearings. Correct bearing pre-load is essential for smooth steering operation and long bearing service life. Shims are typically used in combination across the available sizes to achieve the specified pre-load setting during overhaul or bearing replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What does the FRC2885 shim do in a Land Rover swivel housing?

The FRC2885 is a 0.25mm shim used to set the preload and bearing end-float on the swivel pin housing during assembly or overhaul. It fits the Defender up to 2016, Series 2 and 3, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic where the swivel pin housing is used.

What's the difference between FRC2885 and FRC2884?

Both are swivel pin housing shims, but they're different thicknesses. FRC2884 is the 0.13mm shim and FRC2885 is the 0.25mm shim. During a swivel overhaul you'll typically use a combination of shims measured with a dial gauge to achieve the correct bearing preload.

How are swivel housing shims used during an overhaul?

After fitting the swivel pin bearings, shims are selected and stacked to achieve the specified bearing preload. You measure end-float with a dial gauge, then add or remove shims in 0.13mm or 0.25mm increments until the preload is within the correct range before final assembly.
