Description

The Shim Kit GM 8.5in 10 Bolt, designed for models from 1970 to 1998, is a precision adjustment tool specifically for rear differential tuning and bearing preload correction in GM 10-bolt differentials. This kit is particularly useful for mechanics and enthusiasts who are focused on rebuilding or tuning these specific differential types.

Manufactured by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE, this shim kit provides the precise spacing required to set carrier bearing preload and control side-bearing clearance in the 8.5-inch GM 10-bolt housing. Proper shim selection is crucial to ensure optimal ring-and-pinion mesh, eliminate driveline noise, and extend the life of the differential.

This kit is essential for anyone specifically rebuilding a Chevrolet or GMC truck, Camaro, Firebird, or other GM platform equipped with the 8.5-inch 10-bolt differential. Installation requires careful measurement and adjustment during differential assembly, making it indispensable for professional shops and serious enthusiasts alike.
