Maintain precise steering performance and correct swivel hub bearing preload with this Genuine Nissan Swivel Hub Bearing Shim 0.127mm, designed for all Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 and GU Y61 models. This OEM shim is fitted within the front swivel hub assembly and is used to accurately adjust the preload on the swivel (king pin) bearings, ensuring smooth steering operation and proper front axle alignment.

Over time, swivel hub bearings wear, requiring preload adjustments during servicing or rebuilds. Using the incorrect shim thickness can result in steering wander, premature bearing wear, poor self-centering, or the well-known Patrol front-end shimmy and vibration issues. A genuine Nissan shim provides the precise thickness required to achieve factory preload specifications.

Manufactured to Nissan factory specifications, this genuine 0.127mm shim ensures accurate bearing adjustment, reliable steering feel, and long-lasting durability for both on-road and off-road applications. This shim is sold individually and can be combined with other shim thicknesses when setting king pin bearing preload during swivel hub servicing.
