western Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 it's the pre-load you need to worry about not the shim thickness, just adjust the shims until the pre-load is correct, almost every vehicle will have a different size shim pack.

Les Henson Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I think it's .1, .25, .5, and .75mm. Mix and match them until the preload is set. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
