LF Dana 44 pinion shims!

[Burger]

Hey guys. so im in a bit of a bind... and need to get my hands on any dana 44 pinion depth shims i can find. I have the rear axle out of my Rubicon right now and have found myself unable to get the pinion shims im missing from anyone ive contacted. this is the only thing holding me up from finishing my rebuild and tying up my garage... So if anyone has any kicking around from a past swap or knows of a place i can get my hands on some by friday that would be a huge help! Thanks

Call Malmberg and bring them coffee.

Malmberg's was my first stop. i was told there is no part number listed for what i need. they said id have to bring in the pinion and try to match something up, and then it would have to be ordered most likely... problem is i need this thing done asap, and dont want to start guessing

If you measure the outer diameter of the pinion and the outer diameter of the bearing face, odds are they have something.

There are pinion shim kits you can buy, Malmbergs should know that

Did you not buy a master installl kit?
I probably have some but I am not close to you, and I would want the shims you don't use back. I would have to check to see what I have is viable, do you know what size you need?

Danny at PJF probably has them in stock.

yes i had bought the master install kit for the front and rear. neither came with the shims i needed for between the pinion head and the first bearing... none of the pinion shim kits seem to come with it either. not malmbergs or even dodge seems to be able to get there hands on the proper listed shims i need. thanks Dwayne but i did manage to get afew odd shims today that i think will work. heres hoping lol
