timsz Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm doing the R200 diff. upgrade. I have the chequered flag stub axle, companion flange. The Z31 cv half shaft conversion. Do i need the shims (washers) - pic. on the ends of the spacer? If I do, where can i get them and what are they called? Thank you very much.

NewZed Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The pieces that sit on the axle are designed to match the inner race separation with the outer race separation of the bearings. The outer races are controlled by the hub. Not clear why you have shims in yours unless someone was making a worn or damaged "distance piece" work correctly. The Rear Axle chapter describes things, with some good drawings. You can make your own distance piece/spacer if you get the critical measurement from the hub and can create a good squared end on a piece of pipe.

RebekahsZ Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I have taken several of these apart and never had any spacers. However, my passenger side has some axial play in it. The driver side is tight. Winter project to eliminate play in pass side.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
