## 🔌 Function

Sets the clearance or preload in the assembly by filling a measured part of the gap between two components.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Knock or rumble from the assembly as clearance opens up
-   Measured end float or backlash outside specification at service
-   Shim faces bruised, polished or picked up
-   Shim cracked or coned, so it no longer sits flat
-   Fretting debris found on the faces either side of the shim

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Set the shim thickness from measurement, never by copying what was removed
-   The 0.08 mm and 0.25 mm shims cover the same applications and differ only in thickness, so order by the figure you have calculated
-   The published weights across the three thicknesses do not follow the thicknesses, so ignore weight when identifying them
