SHIM (Crown CR74481-4)

A worn shim can cause excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or misalignment. The aftermarket replacement shim references Crown as the OE maker and carries part number CR74481-4. This shim type serves as a thin spacer to adjust fit or fill gaps between assembled parts. A plain mechanical function of a shim is to take up slack or set precise spacing during assembly. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or undersized shim may allow metal-to-metal contact, resulting in scoring or galling. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps maintain proper alignment and load distribution in the assembly. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
