Description

The Ratech 2102 is a pinion shim pack designed for Ford 8-inch differentials. It is manufactured by Ratech in-house using high-quality, hardened American-made shim stock, ensuring precision and durability. Unlike softer sheet metal gauges, these shims are produced in precise 0.002-inch increments, preventing splitting in performance applications and providing a broader range of thickness for accurate differential setup. This kit is essential for setting the correct pinion depth and bearing preload during differential assembly or rebuilds, particularly when using non-OEM gear sets.
