Yukon Gear Crush Sleeve Eliminator Kit For GM 7.5in & 8.2in

This kit from Yukon Gear & Axle gives you the components needed to replace the crush sleeve in your GM 7.5-inch or 8.2-inch differential. The crush sleeve is a critical part of setting proper pinion bearing preload, and this kit offers a solid spacer alternative for certain setups, especially those using aftermarket parts. It's designed to work with GM 7.5", 7.625", and 8.2" rear axles found in a wide range of vehicles.

Instead of a crush sleeve that needs to be tightened to a specific torque range, this kit uses a solid spacer. This means you set your pinion bearing preload by using shims to achieve the correct depth, which can be a more stable setup once installed correctly. Yukon Gear & Axle precision machines these components to ensure they fit right and function as intended for your differential rebuild. This is a popular choice when rebuilding or modifying these GM axles.
