I'd like to get some advice ono my rear axle shim issue. Since I don't
appear to have any shims on my axles, I'm concerned on how to proceed. My
intent, without knowing anything else, is to measure the width of the old
bearings and compare them with the new ones. If the new are thinner, I'll
shim to width of old ones. But what if the new ones are thicker?
Also, it appears that one of the bearings(right side) had been replaced
sometime by the PO. Do I shim the right side according to the thickness of
that replaced bearing or to the thickness of the one on the left side that
looks like it's original?
Waht happens if I don't use any shims, like what is currently on the car?
What could happen? I'm really concerned about the lack of shims on my car.
Is there any way to determine what shims, if any, are needed? How did they
at the factory determine if shims were needed?
Help!! This really concerns me because I don't want my bearings to seize,
etc.!! ANY advice would be incredibly appreciated!!
