SHIM (Yale YT0289760)

A damaged shim can lead to excessive clearance between mating components, causing accelerated wear or misalignment. During assembly, a shim of the correct thickness restores proper spacing and reduces vibration. The aftermarket replacement part references Yale as the OE maker and cross-references part number YT0289760. A shim is a thin, flat component used to fill gaps or adjust the fit between two parts. Its plain mechanical function is to occupy space and distribute load evenly across a joint. A common failure consequence is that a worn or missing shim allows metal-on-metal contact, which can generate noise and shorten component life. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
