Yukon Gear Crush Sleeve Eliminator Kit For GM 8.5in & Chrysler 9.25in

This kit from Yukon Gear & Axle gives you the components to replace the crush sleeve in your GM 8.5-inch or 8.6-inch, and Chrysler 9.25-inch rear differential with a solid spacer. This setup is often chosen when rebuilding or setting up a differential to ensure consistent preload on the bearings.

The kit includes precision-machined shims tailored for these specific GM and Chrysler rear axle applications. By using a solid spacer instead of a crush sleeve, you achieve a more stable setup that helps maintain proper bearing preload over time, which is crucial for the longevity of your differential components. This eliminates the need to repeatedly set the crush sleeve during assembly.

This eliminator kit is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet C1500, Cadillac Escalade, and Dodge Ram 1500. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on setting bearing preload.
