SHIM (P/N 178181) - New Surplus

Part 178181 is a precision shim—a thin metal spacer used to set exact alignment and clearance in aircraft assemblies. During landing gear installation and maintenance, shims correct toe and camber angles by stacking measured increments between the axle and gear housing. Manufactured to NAS1195 specifications for dimensional accuracy and traceability.

Installation must follow aircraft maintenance manual procedures specific to your airframe. Verify part compatibility with your Illustrated Parts Catalog before use. Proper shimming ensures landing gear geometry meets design specifications and flight safety requirements.
