Alignment shims looking odd
« on: January 08, 2011, 02:49:17 pm »
Hey guys check these out and tell me what you think...should it be even on both sides? also some are sticking out higher than others..could they pop out and cause major problems?

No they should not be even. I always use new shims of the same size so it doesn't look like that but as long as they are torqued they are fine.

Yes, this is how you set your camber and caster
