Restore correct differential bearing preload with this Genuine Diff Housing Centre Spring Washer, designed to suit Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models. Located inside the front or rear differential housing, this OEM spring washer applies correct tension to the differential hemisphere bearings, playing a critical role in diff longevity.

These washers are a common failure point, particularly on high-kilometre vehicles or those subjected to heavy-duty use. When they crack or lose their tension, excessive play develops in the differential centre. Ignoring a worn or broken spring washer can lead to a whining differential, incorrect gear mesh between the crown wheel and pinion, and ultimately catastrophic failure of the entire diff centre. Replacing this small, inexpensive part during a rebuild or service is cheap insurance against a very costly repair bill down the track.

Manufactured to Genuine Nissan specifications, this spring washer is built from high-tensile spring steel to maintain proper tension and precise dimensions for secure fitment. It's the ideal part to replace during a differential rebuild, bearing service, or general diff maintenance on your Nissan Patrol.
