Description

Outer Shim – 1.65mm – Front Halfshaft / CV Joint

This 1.65mm shim is used to set the end-float of the front halfshaft within the CV joint assembly at the outer (hub cap) end. Correct end-float is critical for long-term CV joint and halfshaft life; shims are selected from a range of thicknesses to achieve the specified tolerance during assembly or rebuild.

The shim is fitted between the CV joint and the retaining circlip at the outer end of the halfshaft. It is replaced or re-selected whenever the front halfshaft, CV joint, or hub assembly is disassembled.
