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. |

Yea I guess I wasn’t clear. I didn’t pickup the second comment in between the images. I was saying yes to the orientation of the shim and yes it does stick out a little bit.
There are no washers between the bushings and their mounts. The nuts clamp the rubber bushings between the splines/bushings and the rubber twists as the swing arm moves. Sorry if that was not clear. . |
