Overview
This master ring and pinion installation kit is for Dodge/AAM 10.5 Inch front axles. The axle type entry reads Chrysler 9.25 Inches, so confirm which size your housing is before ordering.
Pinion bearings, carrier bearings, shims, a crush sleeve, ring gear bolts and gear marking compound are packed together for a full ring and pinion setup.
Key features
- Master kit with pinion and carrier bearings
- Shims, crush sleeve and replacement pinion nut
- Ring gear bolts and pinion seal
- Silicone sealer, Loctite and gear marking compound
Front axle setup
Front ring and pinion work starts with confirming the housing, because the carrier, pinion depth and bearing preload all depend on it. Measure the housing and compare the result against the size you intend to buy before opening the kit. A mismatch here is far harder to fix after the gears are in.
Carrier bearing preload and tooth contact are closely linked. Set preload first, then check the pattern with gear marking compound and adjust the shims in small steps. Front differentials also see steering and suspension loads, so check the pinion seal and fasteners after the first drives.
- Confirm the housing before opening the kit
- Set carrier preload before checking contact
- Adjust shims in small steps
- Recheck fasteners after the first drives

Axle size is the match point here, and the two size references differ. Measure or verify your front housing before choosing this kit.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Verify the axle size before buying, since the title and axle type do not agree. Carrier bearing preload and tooth contact both affect the set, so an experienced gear installer is the safer choice.
