Yukon Gear Crush Sleeve

When you're rebuilding a differential, getting the pinion bearing preload just right is critical for longevity. This crush sleeve from Yukon Gear & Axle is a key component in that process, acting as a spacer that compresses to set the correct bearing tension. It's designed to work with a range of popular differential housings, including the AMC Model 35, Chrysler 7.25-inch and 8.25-inch, Ford 8-inch, and GM 7.75-inch axles found in many classic and modern vehicles.

This particular crush sleeve measures approximately 0.480 inches long, a precise measurement that ensures it functions as intended when installed. Yukon Gear & Axle is known for its differential parts, and this small but vital piece is no different. It's a well-built component that helps you achieve the correct setup during a differential rebuild, preventing premature wear on your bearings and gears.

When undertaking a differential rebuild, it's important to have all the necessary small parts on hand. This crush sleeve is one of those essential items for the axles it fits, like the AMC Eagle, Dodge D150, or Chevrolet Camaro models. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the specific procedure and torque specifications when installing this part.
