Re: Front End Suspension Shims
Looks like the ones I just seen pulling the upper control arms off. Between the upper shaft and frame.

Re: Front End Suspension Shims
I would put the thin ones on the front to give yourself as much caster as possible. Photo from my Burban.

Re: Front End Suspension Shims
They’re Shims. I Remember Pulling Them Off. Ones 1/2 Thick. The Others 1/4.

Re: Front End Suspension Shims
The serrations on the inside of the washers certainly makes the case for them having been on the upper control arm mounts. I don't believe they were the stock washers. Here is a thread that may help. And a photo of the factory set up.
I installed thick washers like yours on my lowered Burban to keep from having 8-10 shims. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=589541
