Hi Paul,
1. The tapered (thin) end of the wedge goes to the rear of the car according
to the workshop manual in the Rear Axle chapter under "Removal".
2. These wedge plates are listed under part number SUR150 packing piece
available from Autofarm. They have a web site.
Now, can you please send me all the particulars of 153829 and it's current
owner so I can enter the data into the Hundred Registry?
many thanks,
Rich Chrysler
Hundred Registrar
