Yukon Gear Dana 70 & Dana 80 Pinion Gear Thrust Washer

When you're rebuilding the differential on a heavy-duty truck like a Chevrolet C3500, Dodge Ram 3500, or Ford F-350, getting the pinion bearing preload just right is critical. This pinion gear thrust washer from Yukon Gear & Axle is a small but vital part of that process, helping to set the correct depth and support for the pinion gear within the differential housing. It's designed specifically for Dana Spicer 70 and Dana Spicer 80 axles, which are common in many larger trucks and vans from the 1970s through the early 2000s.

This thrust washer is made to precise specifications to ensure it functions correctly with the pinion bearings. While it might seem like a minor component, using a well-made washer like this one helps maintain the integrity of your differential setup, preventing premature wear on the pinion and bearings. It's the kind of small part that makes a big difference in the longevity and performance of your drivetrain, especially when you're putting your vehicle to work.
