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 |

2 3 and 4 mm reduces neg camber 20 30 adn 40 minutes, we had precise ones made have at least 50 of each in stock as the Porsche factory discontinued them

Sincerely, Shimless Jim That matches what I measured, the 2mm shim changed camber by 0.32° and the 4mm shim changed camber by 0.65°. |
