SHIM-.020 (Hyster HY0289706)

A worn shim can cause excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or noise. The shim's plain mechanical function is to occupy a precise gap between two parts to maintain correct alignment. In a typical usage context, a missing or undersized shim may allow vibration that loosens adjacent fasteners over time. This aftermarket replacement part references Hyster catalog number HY0289706. The part type is a thin, flat spacer used to adjust fit during assembly or rebuild. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748. A shim of incorrect thickness can alter preload, resulting in premature component failure.
