Repair instructions: Shims

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta III, 1995 Volkswagen Golf III, 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1994 Volkswagen Jetta III, and 1994 Volkswagen Golf III. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure shims at several points with a micrometer. Different tolerances in shims of the same nominal size make it possible to obtain the exact shim thickness required.
Check for signs of burrs and damage. Only install shims that are in perfect condition.
