Genuine Nissan Diff Pinion Spacer - Nissan Patrol Y62

This Genuine Nissan Pinion Spacer, also known as a crush tube, is the only way to correctly set your pinion depth and bearing preload when reassembling your front differential. Located on the pinion shaft between the bearings, this spacer is precisely engineered to deform under torque to achieve the exact preload required. Failure to replace it during a rebuild can lead to incorrect preload, causing noisy gears, rapid bearing wear, and eventual catastrophic diff failure—the last thing you want miles from home. It is common for this to be replaced with a solid spacer machined to the right size so that it cannot continue to crush under load.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan OEM Part: Guarantees a perfect fit and the correct metallurgy for a precise, reliable preload setting every time.
• Essential for Rebuilds: This is a single-use, critical component. It must be replaced any time the pinion nut is removed for a gear change, bearing replacement, or pinion seal service.
• Prevents Premature Failure: Engineered to provide the correct pinion bearing preload, eliminating guesswork and preventing howling gears and premature bearing destruction.
• Cost-Effective Reliability: A far simpler and more affordable solution for most rebuilds compared to machining a custom solid pinion spacer.
