Is this the correct placement for the camber alignment shim on the rear trailing arm? it seems weird to me that it sticks off at the corner like that, but I can't find any other orientation that allow 3 bolt holes to line up.
 Does the washer go on the trailing arm side of the body tab, as opposed to the nut side?  Thank you. |

Yes to both. The only thing I did different was to use locking nuts from
McMaster Carr. I found the inside nut would loosen as I drove the car… and this was recommended by others. I haven’t had the issue since I added these nuts. I get under the car from time to time and just check that everything is still tight. Something to consider after you drive a bit. You’ll also want to get a wheel alignment. https://www.mcmaster.com/product/93795A335 They are single use nuts… so I have a pack of 8 more if I ever need it. |
