The little ones are standard GM (chevy etc) shims used on just about any RWD unit with adjustable upper control arms. At least thats where I use to use them back in the late 70s & 80s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Back the trailing arm bolt off, slide the shim in, tighten the bolt back. Done.
Make sure you use the same thinkness on each of the three bolts. Paul |
