I have a complete 87 Suburban front end to put on my 66 Burb.

I will be rebuilding it before installing it. It has 4 or 5 of the little spacers on the upper arm shaft. After all new rubber (Moog) will it still need them?

Hey Jon,
The shims are there for the alignment (camber) of the wheels. I'd recommend you to add the shims and then take the truck to a shop to align everything when you are done.
well, I think you can notice by eye if there is anything waaay off when u have the truck on the ground.

To prevent the wheels to wear.
