Motive Gear Differential Carrier Shim Kits

Motive Gear Differential Carrier Shim Kits deliver the precision shimming components required for professional-grade differential assembly and rebuilding. Engineered to exacting tolerances, these kits provide the shims necessary to achieve correct carrier bearing preload and ring-and-pinion backlash settings — two of the most critical adjustments in any differential build.

Why Proper Shimming Matters:

Incorrect carrier preload or backlash leads to accelerated gear wear, differential noise, and premature failure. Using purpose-built, precision-manufactured shims ensures your differential is set up to OEM or performance specifications from the start, whether you're performing a routine rebuild or a high-performance gear swap.

Key Features:

• Precision Manufacturing: Each shim is produced to tight dimensional tolerances for repeatable, accurate differential setup
• Carrier Bearing Preload: Provides the correct components to dial in proper bearing preload, reducing heat and wear
• Backlash Control: Enables precise adjustment of ring-and-pinion gear mesh for quiet, efficient operation
• Quality Materials: Constructed from durable materials engineered to withstand the demands of high-torque drivetrain environments
• Broad Application Coverage: Available across a wide range of differential applications to match various builds and platforms

Motive Gear is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-performance drivetrain components, trusted by professional builders, racers, and off-road enthusiasts alike. These shim kits are an essential part of any properly executed differential installation or rebuild.
