With Disc Brakes

Standard Rear Axle Assembly:

Rear Axle Assembly With Traction Control (Acceleration Slip Regulation):

A axle tube flange shim (67) may be installed between the rear brake caliper mounting plate (65) and the axle shaft tube flange on the housing (16). This shim (67) centers the rear brake caliper and pads over the brake rotor (71), ensuring even brake pad pressure during braking. This shim (67) may have to be changed when the housing (16) is replaced.
