Camber/toe Shims For Upper Arms - How to replace?
The shims that fit between the crosshaft and the chassis for the A-Arms to adjust the camber/toe how hard are they to replace? I bought some new ones to replace the rusty ones on there now...I have the same "thickness" so as to not mess up the alignement.
How hard is this? Just slacken the bolts and pry out the old ones?
Any tips woudl be appreicated.

It's pretty easy, just undo the bolts some, note the amount of shims and replace with the new ones. I always like to secure mine with tie wraps through a hole drilled in the top (the lip) of them. Put a tie wrap through each set and then a larger wrap through the 2 tie wraps and under the suspension mount on the frame.

Just do exactly as stated above and you'll be fine. Make sure you put back the same amount as was removed. Easy job. :thumbs:
