SHIM (CAT CT2I3517)

A worn shim can cause misalignment and accelerated wear in the assembly it supports. The aftermarket replacement shim references CAT as the OE maker and cross-references part number CT2I3517. This shim type provides a precise thickness adjustment between mating components. Its plain mechanical function is to fill gaps and maintain proper spacing under load. A common failure consequence is that a missing or degraded shim leads to looseness and eventual component damage. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps preserve alignment and reduce vibration. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
