Selected User Reviews For USA Standard Gear (ZBKGM8.5) Bearing Kit for GM 8.5 Rear Differential
I had this and the Yukon Gear kit next to each other. I chose this one because of the low price, but I didn't realize the shims weren't included. Perhaps I have unrealistic expectations, but shims are included in almost every other rebuild/bearing kit. Returning the item and replacing it with a kit that includes the shims.
Check the poor quality box to ensure you get everything. It appeared as if rats had been inside the package, with chewed up parts. br>.
A bearing has been gouged out. This kit was purchased with the intention of using the pinion bearings as set-back bearings. I was cleaning bearings when I noticed one of them had a significant gouge in it (see photo). I would definitely return if I wasn't just trying them on for fitment. As a result, inspect the bearings, race, and other components as soon as they arrive and before you begin your project.
Where other brands have switched to overseas crap bearings, USA STANDARD GEAR is taking over the bearing market. High quality bearings, made in the United States.
After a few drinks, the kit wasn't too difficult to set up.
It's about 15,000 miles on the road. There are no issues at all.
With, I might be able to get some driving gear. Although it did not come with shims, I changed my review because it was still a great kit if all you needed to do was replace the bearings. My application was successful with factory shims.
It did exactly what it said it would do.
