Genuine Nissan Swivel Hub Bearing Shim 0.5mm - Nissan Patrol GQ GU

This Genuine Nissan shim is fitted within the swivel hub assembly on the front axle of your Nissan Patrol. It is used to set the correct preload on the kingpin bearings, which are critical for proper steering and wheel alignment. These shims are required during a swivel hub rebuild or when adjusting the bearing preload to compensate for wear.

Incorrect kingpin bearing preload can lead to a range of serious steering issues. If the preload is too loose, it can cause the infamous "death wobbles," wandering steering, and accelerated wear on your bearings and tyres. If it's too tight, it will result in heavy steering and premature bearing failure, making the vehicle difficult and unsafe to control.
