Terex Faa Upper Cap Shim-.010"

Terex Faa Upper Cap Shim-.010"

This is a 0.010-inch thick kingpin upper cap shim used in the front axle and suspension systems of Terex front discharge mixers. Shims are critical for maintenance and repair, allowing technicians to properly set the kingpin turning preload by adjusting the space between the kingpin cap and the steering knuckle. Correct shimming ensures proper steering feel, prevents excessive wear on bearings and bushings, and avoids steering issues like 'death wobble'. This specific shim is made from SAE 1008-1010 steel and is used as part of kingpin repair and rebuild kits.
