Individual differences in machining the rear axle differential carrier casting and the ring gear and pinion and variation in bearing widths require a pinion
shim between the inner pinion bearing and pinion head, in order to locate the pinion for correct tooth contact with the ring gear.
When replacing a differential ring gear and pinion (4209), the correct shim thickness for the new gearset to be installed is determined by the following
procedure using the tools shown below.
