Re: need help
Thats the way to do it. Those shims adjust your caster and camber of the alignement. Be sure and keep the stacks seperate and keep track of which stack of shims go on which stud on each side.

Re: need help
As TXFirefighter said....keep track of everything.....SO...Be sure to buy plenty of ziploc baggies and a sharpie so you can mark EVERYTHING and bag it...good luck!
I taped my shims together marked the fronts and where they were installed in each individual bags too....

Re: need help
Since you will probably be replacing bushings and such as you go back together these are good suggestions.Just to be sure you don't wear tires out have the alignment checked afetr it's all done.
