★ Precision component for professional differential adjustment. During rear axle overhaul, multiple thicknesses are required to set the correct pinion depth.
Application
Specific to early type Dodge WC-series rear axle differential. Required when replacing crown wheel and pinion or during complete differential overhaul.
Installation notes
Pinion depth is adjusted using shims behind the inner pinion bearing. A depth gauge and pattern check with marking paste are necessary for correct adjustment. Several trial assemblies with different shim combinations are usually required to achieve optimal tooth contact. Adjustment requires professional knowledge.
Compatibility
Only suitable for early Dodge WC-series rear axles. Note: early and late WC-series have different differential dimensions — early models have smaller 8⅝" differential, later models 9⅝". This component is not interchangeable between both versions.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-series underwent a transition from smaller to larger rear axles during production, with early models (circa 1941-1942) still receiving the lighter 8⅝" differential also used in the ½-ton models.
