Differential Crush Sleeves

There is no better feeling in the world than cruising up and down hills and around break-neck turns in your favorite off-roading rig. As you coax your ride to ever faster speeds and more daring maneuvers, you trust that everything will work as it should because you spend so much time fixing up your favorite vehicle. If differential bearings need tightening or tires need replacing, you do the work without much gripping. Part of the reason repairs are so easy to make is because you found 4WheelParts.com. We stock all sorts of parts, including a differential crush sleeve you can use to improve your differential system.

What Is the Purpose of a Crush Sleeve?
The crush sleeve purpose can be boiled down to two fairly basic ideas. First, this ring is designed to ensure your pinion bearings are not preloaded too tightly. If the bearing is too tight, it could stop the differential from spinning or cause other issues. Second, the differential crush sleeve stops the pinion from loosening up on its own. The sleeve keeps outward pressure on the bearings to ensure everything continues to work correctly.

How Do You Know When You Need a New One?
If you ever replace the pinion bearings, chances are you need new crush sleeves. This small differential component should not be reused. Another potential sign the sleeve needs to be replaced is if you hear or feel the gears clunk as you start going after a dead stop. This clunking noise could indicate the sleeve you have hasn't been crushed properly and therefore needs to be replaced.

Is It Hard to Find Quality Parts?
Even as you get ready to install something as basic as a Dana 30 crush sleeve, you want to be sure you use the best components on the market. As you shop through our inventory, you'll come to realize that's exactly what we offer. What's even better is that we also strive to have the lowest prices on the market! Find exactly what you need by looking through our inventory today.

Sometimes, it's the little things that conspire to slow you down or cancel your off-roading plans altogether. For example, the pinions inside your differential can loosen at times, halting the proper operation of this component and your forward progress. Fortunately, installing a simple crush sleeve reduces this likelihood of this happening, allowing you to enjoy your off-road fun without the worry of being stranded or damaging your differential or axle.

How it Works
The differential crush sleeve consists of a single tube-like spacer and a series of small, round rings. It's installed between the inner and outer pinion bearings, and works to keep pressure against the outer two bearings as much as possible. This prevents the pinion nuts from unscrewing themselves over time, giving you a more secure, reliable driving experience overall. It's a rather simple upgrade that goes a long way towards keeping your ride on the move in all sorts of off-road conditions.
