-   Nominal thickness: 0.225mm
-   Provides fine bearing-preload adjustment
-   Used in the sterndrive universal-joint / bearing-carrier stack

## 🔌 Function

Fine-tunes the axial location of the bearing or shaft assembly to achieve the correct preload or end float.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Persistent end play after assembly
-   Bearing heat from an over-tight stack
-   Gear whine or vibration
-   Seal leakage from incorrect shaft alignment
-   Premature bearing damage

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Shims are supplied in graded thicknesses and exist to bring a setting into specification, so measure with a micrometer and select the thickness the setting procedure for your engine calls for rather than matching one by eye
-   Note which shim came from which position on removal and keep them identified — once an assembly has bedded in, shims are not interchangeable between positions
-   Check both faces are clean, flat and free of burrs, corrosion and old sealant before fitting; dirt trapped under a shim shifts the setting as surely as the wrong thickness does
-   Discard any shim that is dished, cracked, pitted or fretted rather than reusing it, and make sure no old shim has been left behind in the recess
-   Recheck the clearance or setting after the assembly is tightened down, because clamping load can change the measurement you took loose
