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
