FAQ
What is a pinion depth shim kit used for?Pinion depth shims set the correct distance between the pinion gear and the ring gear centerline, which is critical for proper gear contact pattern.
What differentials does this kit fit?This kit is designed for the Toyota 8in differential and the GM 7.5in, 8.2in, and 12-bolt differentials.
How do I know which differential I have?Confirm your differential's exact identification code or consult a differential identification guide before ordering, since multiple axle types were used across these applications.
Is professional installation recommended?Yes. Setting correct pinion depth requires precise measurement and gear pattern checking, and should be performed by a qualified technician.
Does this kit include carrier shims?No, this kit includes pinion depth shims only.
What tools are needed to use this kit?A dial indicator and gear marking compound are typically needed to properly set pinion depth and verify the contact pattern.
Can I use this kit with a new ring and pinion set?Yes, this kit is designed to support proper pinion depth setup during a ring and pinion gear installation.
Do I need to confirm fitment before ordering?Yes. Confirm your vehicle's exact differential type before ordering.
Installation Instructions
- Remove the differential cover and carrier assembly.
- Set up the pinion with marking compound and check the gear contact pattern.
- Select and install the appropriate shim from this kit to achieve correct pinion depth.
- Reassemble the carrier and torque all fasteners to specification.
