General Repair Notes:: Components: Shims

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volkswagen R32. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure shims at several points using a micrometer. Different tolerances make it possible to measure the required shim size exactly.
Check for burrs and signs of damage.
Only install adjustment shims in perfect condition.
