I’m in the need of additional shims behind the bearings on the carrier. Anyone know if there is a part number for the shims but carried at the local autozone or equivalent? I got mine from Snyder’s but if I have to order, then I will be waiting till next week. Trying to get the assembly moving this weekend.

TIA.

I have rebuilt many,many differentials and have learned that sometimes the bearing surface on the carrier has been worn by a spinning bearing and need a shim to allow pre load adjustment to be accomplished without using excessive gaskets on the banjo.

Brattons has the shims needed, as shown here :
