Location: Minnesota | Hello everyone.
I picked up a '57 Chrysler with a 8 3/4" rear axle, the rear axle bearing was seized up, so I set about rebuilding it.
When I reassembled it I noticed there was no end play and no tapered bearing axle shims installed... might be the reason the bearing was froze up.
Does anyone have tapered bearing rear axle shims for these early 8 3/4 rear axles for sale?
Does anyone reproduce them?
I know I can always make them, but hoping to purchase one instead.
Thanks in advance for any assistance, Mark |
