Does anyone have dimensions of Caster Shims. If nothing else, thickness. Longer bolts needed? New bolt length?
1977 Aspen [Olga]. Wanting to get this done in 1 day. Thanks -
 
This thread has all you ever wanted to know about the shims and then some. Actually they're camber shims, not caster shims but I'm picking nits. Scroll down a ways and there is an illustration with all the dimensions on page 2. I did this on my car and it fixed it right up (used an NOS shim kit off Ebay). The existing bolts are more than long enough to use with the shims.

He used 1/4" steel to fabricate his own, but pretty sure the factory TSB ones are 3/16".

Alignment problems?

Yeah, I wasn't totally sure what thickness they were.

You must have missed the link I posted but BudW has it also. Afterall, it was his thread to begin with! lol
