SHIM (CAT CT20423-50461)

CT20423-50461: A worn shim can cause excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or misalignment. The shim type serves as a thin spacer to adjust fit or alignment between two parts. Catalog reference CT20423-50461 is an aftermarket replacement part, cross-referenced to the OE maker CAT. A shim's plain mechanical function is to fill a gap or set a precise distance between surfaces. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or damaged shim may allow metal-to-metal contact, resulting in component damage. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps maintain proper assembly tolerances. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
