<VV> LM front suspension shims

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Jim - If you need them, you need them. If you are reinstalling all the  
large parts that were there before, with new bushings or ball joints, of 
course,  you will likely need them to get the (negative) camber range you want.  
Generally speaking, the shims were only added to put the range of the camber  
adjuster in the "realm of possibility". If they weren't needed, they 
wouldn't be  there. - Seth

Hello, I  am rebuilding a lm front suspension.Upon dis assembly of the 
drivers side  upper a arm, I found two shims between cross member and bushing 
shaft.Both  were the same thickness. I think these were installed at the 
factory since  front end has not been in a car since the early 70's.My guess is 
they were  used to adjust for some manufacturing tolerance for 
camber.Question, should I  re assemble with shims or, rely on lower arm adjustment only to 
adjust  camber?Thanks in advance,Jim CuneoNorcal Corsa
