Comprehensive kit: Pinion & output bearings, oil seals, and crush sleeve shim included.
Precision fit & quality: Components match or exceed OEM standards for longevity.

Technical Specs / Installation Tips

Kit Components	1× Crush sleeve shim 1× Small pinion bearing 1× Large pinion bearing 1× Input flange oil seal 2× Output flange oil seal
Diagnosis tip	Hear a whine? During a safe drive, gently weave left/right like warming tires. If noise changes, suspect a wheel bearing. If it stays constant, the differential bearings likely need replacement.

Install guidance	Follow our step-by-step video in the gallery for bearing/seal replacement, setting pinion preload via crush sleeve shim, and verifying gear contact.
