Solid Shim kit

This Solid shim kit is to replace the original crush sleeve in the Chrysler corporate 9.25 rear axle.

It is a well-known solution that the experienced mechanic who has repaired a DANA axle knows.

Adjust once and then never look back.
This method of mounting has been used for years in the DANA axles.

The standard kits that were available did not meet our quality requirements.
That is why our Solid Shims are made especially for us by TechnoMotion from Chrome molybdenum steel with CNC technique and therefore 100% exact.

With the rear axle update of the 2009 > Ram 1500 models we also apply the Solid shim kit.

Method:

  • Measure the old crush sleeve with a digital caliper.
  • Find the right shims at the solid shim to get the same thickness.
  • Place the solid shim on the pinion shaft with the chosen shims and mount it with new bearings in the rear axle.
  • Insert the pinion flange and tighten the whole with the old nut at 350Nm.
    (make sure the bearings are sufficiently in the oil)
  • Now check the torque of the pinion shaft. (approx 5nm to 8nm with new bearings)
  • If the torque is not as desired, the fitting must be repeated with a different size shims until the correct resistance is reached.
  • When the correct resistance is reached, the pinion shaft can be mounted with a new Pinion nut and secured with Loc-Tite 270!
  • After dismantling, check the resistance of the bearings of the pinion shaft 1 more time.

Sometimes the nut has to be tightened about 25Nm extra (375Nm total) to get the right resistance. This is because the new nut is self-locking and turns on its own heavier!

Should it happen that the pinion retaining ring leaks or sweats in the future or that the pinion flange is damaged. Can be easily disassembled and replaced without having to open the entire rear axle to replace the crush sleeve.

It has also been found that the pinion nut is so tight in this way and has been secured that 300% more force is required to loosen it. No more fear of loose Pinion nuts.
