Yukon Gear YPKGM12-PC-SHIM is a differential carrier shim kit for a broad range of Yukon Dura Grip positraction applications, including GM 8.2-inch, GM 8.5/8.6-inch, GM 12-bolt passenger car and truck, Ford 8.8-inch, and 1963-1979 Corvette cast-iron differentials. Designed for carrier setup and differential service, this kit provides the steel shims needed when installing, rebuilding, or adjusting a compatible Dura Grip carrier.
Carrier shims are used to establish proper carrier position and bearing preload during differential setup. When rebuilding an axle or installing a replacement positraction carrier, the correct shim combination helps position the differential assembly accurately within the housing as part of the final setup process.
Because YPKGM12-PC-SHIM covers several popular GM and Ford axle families, it is a versatile service kit for muscle cars, trucks, SUVs, performance builds, restorations, and differential repair work using compatible Yukon Dura Grip positraction units.
