Re: Rear Axle Bearing Cups

Are there any shims between the backing plate and the axle flange?????? Such shims would be shaped like the axle flange but with a centre hole big enuf to allow the race to protrude thru it a little bit.

Ring shaped shims inserted into the axle housing BEFORE the bearing race is installed would be there to keep the race tite against the backing plate and to keep race from moving back and forth in the bore of the axle.

I'll try to look at Cli55er pictures.
