Shims Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Do not reinstall the original cast iron production shims, if removed. Once the cast iron shims are removed from the axle housing, they must be replaced with service shims and spacers.
  • If service shims were previously installed, the shims can be reused.

Inspect the shims for cracks and chips. Replace the damaged shims.
