General Repair Information: Shims

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Audi A5, 2013 Audi A5, 2012 Audi A5, and 2011 Audi A5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure the shims at several locations with a micrometer. Different shim thicknesses make it possible to set the required thickness accurately; install two shims if necessary.
Check for burrs or damage. Only install perfect shims.
