1940 Rear Axle Shim

Posted by SteveP516 On 2019/6/26 19:56:57

Evening All,

I'm looking for clarification on the use of shims between the backing plate and the flange of the rear end housing.

Are they being used to shim the backplate to eliminate any excessive pressure on the bearing race?

I realize this is an obscure topic, but I'd like to have a comfort level before I continue.
Regards,
