Differential shims source
Does anyone knows where I can source a full set of shims for diff? I'm planning to replace my final drive, but a full set of shim is made of 22+46+46 different thickness and I have been asked around 5€ each in Subaru!

There are no diff shops in my city, a mechanic will do it for me. Yes, I have the final drive.

If you find an alternative source other than Subaru I'd be keen to hear it! When I did my diff and fd I bought a select few sizes for $5 each from Subaru!

Your local Subaru or Toyota dealer will be able to order a full set for you.

Have you priced the Toyota equivalent? You also don't need to buy the shims ahead of time, if that's what I think you're doing. The mechanic will know what size shims you'll need when it comes time to install them. You mentioned the word set, and a set of all the various sizes would cost a small fortune. Hope this helps. I got my 4.56 stuff from Weir and he sent along a listing of the Toyota shims and their part numbers. Also, sometimes installers will have shims already on hand that they've removed from other rears that had to be serviced. IIRC some of the shims are 8 to 11 US $ each, so you don't want to buy any that you won't be using. Good Luck!!

Now, this is my thinking: if you don't need to replace the diff bearings (ex. new car), diff backlash will be fine of even with new gear ring. You'll probably need new shims for pinion preload. Now, if you're lucky, your diff preload could be fine, if not, measure the distance neded and buy just the 2 shims.
Is this correct? This will costs you around 100$/€... |

https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal..._rm_index.html I'll also add that both times I switched to a different set of oem toyota gears, so I can't guarantee that a set of weir, motive, mfactory gears are manufactured the same way and therefore might need a different pinion shim. Either way final setup should be checked with marking compound to see if the coast and drive pattern is centered. Last edited by AxisPower; 05-17-2019 at 09:46 AM. |
