The Crush Sleeve GM 12 Bolt by RATECH is an essential component for anyone rebuilding or servicing a General Motors 12-bolt differential. This small piece plays a crucial role in ensuring proper pinion depth and bearing preload geometry during differential assembly. It is designed to absorb impact and wear, protecting your carrier bearings and differential housing.
Manufactured from high-quality steel, the crush sleeve compresses predictably under bearing preload torque, maintaining consistent pinion depth and backlash settings. Its compact design allows for a precise fit within the GM 12-bolt carrier assembly, and its lightweight nature reflects its efficient engineering. During installation, it is compressed between the pinion bearing outer race and the differential housing to create the necessary preload.
This RATECH crush sleeve is suitable for both street and performance builds, making it a versatile choice for stock rebuilds or high-horsepower applications. It is a must-have item for anyone looking to ensure the longevity and reliability of their differential setup. Compatible specifically with GM 12-bolt differentials, it is an important part of any differential overhaul or repair.
