SHIM (CAT CT1055589)

CT1055589: A worn shim can allow excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or noise. The shim is a thin, precision-cut spacer used to adjust the gap between two parts in a mechanical assembly. Its plain mechanical function is to fill a measured space to achieve correct alignment or preload. A concrete generic failure consequence of a missing or undersized shim is component misalignment that causes uneven load distribution. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps maintain consistent contact pressure between adjacent surfaces. This aftermarket replacement part references CAT as the OE maker and carries the cross-reference number CT1055589. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748. The item ships at approximately 0.004 POUNDS.
