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 |

OK, now we need a breakout thread.
Ride height and corner balance have been on my list to play with for a while. How do you corner balance w/o scales? |

The first time I cornerbalanced my race car I used a long handled square nose shovel. I went around the car and put the shovel under each wheel to compare the effort required to lift each corner of the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
