Factory upper a arm washers, not the shims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have a picture of the factory washers that went on before the shims for alignment. I can't remember if there were two for each side or just one. and if it was one, did it just go on the forward most bolt.

(by the way, 1972 c -10)

thanks,
dan

I'm referring to the ones between the a arm shaft and the frame

There are two washers per side. One washer on each bolt. The convex side will face the frame.

Those are the ones I am referring to as well. Is there an echo in here?

Oops sorry. How about this one, other than the concave washers, are there any other spacers between the concave washers and the shafts?

Its all good, hard to keep track of all the responses sometimes on here. Not to my knowledge. The washers first, then the shims, then the control arm shaft. Good luck!

Cool thanks man, if I get time I'll snap a pic of the washers that have me confused and bothered. I was under the impression that these might go on the fore most shaft to straighten the arm considering the frame is at an angle on that portion of the truck.

I've always put the concave side next to the arm shaft, with the shims in back of them.
