Re: Where to buy concave washers/shims on upper control arm???

Ok so here's what they look like. They're a little thinner but all the other dimensions are good. At this point I figure on using them and adding another 1/8" shim to make up the difference...

Re: Where to buy concave washers/shims on upper control arm???

I know this an older post, but does anyone have the dimensions for those washers so I can order them from McMaster?

On my friends '68, original concave side is 1 3/8" OD, 5/8" ID, 3/8" thick

The sets (4 concave and 4 convex) I believe I ordered for him were

# 91131A080 @ $3.08 ea. set

As I mentioned before, they are a little thinner but an extra shim or two will make up the difference.

Any questions just give them a call...ed

Re: Where to buy concave washers/shims on upper control arm???

Feedback? Oh lordie I could use one side. I've noticed there are two thicknesses. One is 1/4" and the other is closer to 3/8". Both sides of my truck are different because I lost one side and got the other from a junkyard LOL. I need the thinner 1/4" for one side. My camber is off.

I don't know why there are different sizes.

You gotta put 25 bones minimum in the kitty to be able to buy or sell stuff. Well worth the money.
