Please let me hear from you if you have. > > Bill Vin#11596 WARNING!!! do not add shims to 1 side just to have the same # of shims as the other. you must get on an alignment rack and have the thrust angle checked. it is possible to have (i think) as many as 5 per side not usually the same # of shims on each side. It is very important never to change the # of shims unless you are on a rack. you should note the # of shims for future reference in case you ever take the trailing arm bolts out. while you are there loosen the bolt and then turn the head with a wrench while watching if the trailing arm moves up and down. this would indicate that the bolt is bent and should be replaced immediatly. david teitelbaum vin 10757
