Hello
In the past, I removed rear camber shims from my car. Since then, trailing arm bushings have been replaced and I need to return the shim stack to its original thickness. I usually keep a record of such changes, but apparently I failed to record it or keep the old shims. I believe all shims were the same thickness. Can anyone measure the thickness of a spare shim they have? Also, how many shims are installed at each wheel? I suspect all vehicles had the same number of shims, though not guaranteed. I have replacement shims from 914 Rubber which are of varying thickness, but I believe the original shims were all the same thickness. Thank you. Sincerely, Shimless Jim |

Indeed. Van B is correct. The shims come in different thicknesses so see what you have and if you don't have at least 3 different thicknesses, I would order some and take them with you to the alignment shop.
Now....I would also recommend finding an alignment shop with someone who has aligned old cars like our cars before. I took my car to 2 alignment shops who claimed to know how to align the 914...it never felt right. Finally, I was referred to a guy in Roseville who had his own shop and knew what he was doing. Made a big difference in how the car rode and handled. 3rd time was a charm for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
