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 |

I think I would need to switch to a coil-over set up on the rear to be able to corner balance my car. It has never been done, but I would like to do that at some point. If I could do that with Chris at the Red Barn that would be a lot of fun. And, of course, I would donate to his car fund. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) @Cairo94507 Michael - Just putting your car on the scales would yield interesting initial data. It would be a nice to know anyway and provide a view into if there'd be measureable improvement in going to adjustable coil overs. You might be surprised: We put @Markhoward Mark's 944 on the scales and with him in the car, it was essentially perfect. You just don't know until you check! Note too, that you can And @NARP74 , I'd for sure capture the session and post it on the channel. It would support a recurring theme I'm working on introducing: You never know who you'll meet or what you'll see... At The Red Barn! |
