Matching Parts-Rear Axles Applications

Tech Note 1: Thickness
The Spacers included in TK40260 Set each typically measure between 0.192" and 0.195" thick. Since the Outboard Spacers are part of the overall differential shim pack, you need to measure the thickness of each Spacer before installation.

Tech Note 2: Pinion Depth
Pinion Depth must be set before calculating the differential shim pack thicknesses. Differential adjustment on Dana 80 axles uses a combination of selective fit shims placed between the differential bearing and differential case plus QU40260 outboard spacers located between the bearing cup and axle housing. Use a dial indicator and QT1099 Master Bearings to determine the amount of selective fit shims required to get the correct gear lash and differential bearing preload. See TM4400 Pinion and Differential Bearing Service On Dana-Spicer Monobeam Axles for the correct differential bearing adjustment service procedures.
