Tech Insight

Bearing install kits are a great option for experienced builders who already have a selection of shims available. By excluding shims, these kits reduce cost while still providing all the critical wear components needed for a proper install.

When setting up gears, achieving correct pinion depth, preload, and backlash is essential. Using quality bearings and seals ensures consistent setup and helps prevent noise, premature wear, or gear failureespecially in high-load off-road applications.
