Carrier Shim Kit

The MOTIVE GEAR Carrier Shim Kit (part number 1125R) is a specialized shim kit designed for Dana 35 rear axle carriers. This kit is essential for mechanics and enthusiasts performing differential rebuilds, ensuring proper bearing preload and play adjustment for reliable axle performance.

Constructed from high-quality steel, the shim kit addresses wear in bearing surfaces that can lead to axle play and reduced preload. By compensating for this wear, the kit helps maintain proper gear mesh, reduces noise and vibration, and prevents premature gear damage, making it ideal for demanding conditions.

This kit is particularly beneficial for serious off-road enthusiasts, vintage 4x4 owners, and mechanics working on Dana 35-equipped vehicles, including Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees. Proper shim selection during reassembly is crucial to avoid bearing failure and catastrophic axle damage.
