Frequently asked questions

What is the differential bearing shim used for?
The differential bearing shim sets the side bearing preload and positions the crown wheel and pinion mesh in the differential carrier. It sits behind the differential side bearing. Shims of different thicknesses are selected at assembly to reach the specified preload and backlash.
How is the correct shim thickness chosen?
Shim thickness is chosen to achieve the specified bearing preload and backlash, so it's a selective-fit part rather than one fixed size. This shim is 2.155mm. During a rebuild you measure and fit the thickness your assembly needs, which may differ from the one removed.
Which Land Rovers does this differential shim fit?
This shim fits the Land Rover Defender up to 2016, Discovery 1, and Range Rover Classic. On the Defender it's used in the front differential from VIN LA930435 and the rear differential from VIN LA390456. Confirm your differential type before ordering.
Is this the same as part FTC3869?
Yes, FTC3869 is the cross-reference for this 2.155mm differential bearing shim. If your records show FTC3869, this is the equivalent part. Because shims are selective-fit, check that 2.155mm is the thickness your differential build requires.
