This Shim, part number 11144238, is a precision-engineered component used to adjust clearances and maintain proper alignment within various mechanical assemblies, often in the engine or transmission systems of Volvo trucks. Manufactured to exact tolerances, it ensures critical components operate within their specified gaps, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth power transfer. A worn or missing shim can lead to increased noise, vibration, and reduced efficiency, potentially causing damage to adjacent parts if not corrected.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A worn or incorrect shim may initially cause subtle increases in mechanical noise or vibration from the affected assembly. If left unaddressed, the improper clearance can lead to accelerated wear of mating components, reduced efficiency, and potential binding or seizure of the assembly. This can result in costly repairs and extended equipment downtime.
Always ensure that the shim is correctly oriented and seated flat against its mating surface to prevent uneven loading. Never reuse old or damaged shims, as they are designed for single use to maintain precise adjustments.
When replacing shims, it is critical to inspect the condition of bearings, seals, and the surfaces they interface with for any signs of wear or damage.
