PLATE - RETAINING SHIM (Nissan NICK242277)

A damaged retaining shim plate can allow critical clearance gaps to shift, leading to premature wear of adjacent components. During inspection, a retaining shim plate may show edge deformation or surface scoring that compromises its ability to hold position. The plate's primary function is to secure shims in place within a mechanical assembly, preventing unwanted movement under load. Keeping a retaining shim plate in sound condition helps maintain consistent alignment and reduces the risk of fastener loosening over time. This aftermarket replacement part references Nissan catalog number NICK242277. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748. The part is a plate-type retainer, not a shim itself, and its failure can cause gradual misalignment that accelerates component fatigue.
