Yukon Gear Replacement Crush Sleeve Eliminator For JK Dana 44 Rear

If you're rebuilding the rear differential on your 2003-2015 Nissan Xterra, especially if it's a JK Dana 44 rear axle, you'll want to consider a crush sleeve eliminator. This kit from Yukon Gear & Axle replaces the crush sleeve, which can be tricky to set correctly, with a solid spacer and shim setup. This makes setting your pinion bearing preload much more straightforward and repeatable.

This solid spacer and shim kit is designed to ensure long-term performance by providing a reliable way to set your rear pinion preload. Instead of crushing a sleeve to achieve the correct bearing tension, you'll use shims to achieve the precise preload. This method is often preferred for its stability and ease of adjustment during assembly, helping to prevent premature bearing wear.

This kit is specifically for the JK Dana 44 rear axle, often found in various Jeep and Nissan models. Having the right small parts like this crush sleeve eliminator is crucial for a successful differential rebuild. Yukon Gear & Axle is known for providing these essential components to get the job done right.
