Pinion Shim Pack Dana

The Pinion Shim Pack Dana 44 is a precision steel shim kit engineered for Dana 44 differential assemblies. These natural-finish steel shims are essential components for proper pinion gear preload adjustment, critical to maintaining correct backlash and bearing pressure in Dana 44 axle assemblies found in trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. This kit provides the thickness variety needed to dial in factory-specification preload during differential setup or rebuild operations.

Pinion shim selection directly affects differential durability and performance. Incorrect preload causes premature bearing wear, excess noise, and potential gear damage under load. The steel construction and natural finish of this Dana shim pack resist corrosion while maintaining precise thickness tolerances required for accurate preload measurement. At just 0.06 lbs with compact dimensions (3.3 × 0.3 × 3.95 inches), this kit is easily stored and transported for field repairs, shop rebuilds, or ongoing maintenance of Dana 44 differentials.

This shim pack is essential for technicians, restoration shops, and serious off-road enthusiasts performing Dana 44 differential service or rebuilds. Whether you're replacing a worn pinion bearing, adjusting existing preload, or completing a full differential rebuild, accurate shim selection using this kit ensures the differential operates within OEM specifications. Dana 44 shim packs are commonly needed after bearing replacement, when addressing differential noise, or during preventative maintenance on high-mileage vehicles.
