Caster shims for alignment (Page 1/1)
Spoon OCT 26, 03:13 PM
86 Fiero SE, I took my suspension apart to replace the upper control are bushings and lost one of the 6 mm spacers. It takes 2 so I'm 1 short. Must of rolled away when I pulled the pin. Looked everywhere. Auto part stores have no clue. One place told me to just stack some washers and get it close!! If someone has a set of 2 that will be better just in case something like this crops up again when I do the other side. My ship zip is 19369.


Thanks

I just used a bunch of 7/16th washers (I think), and measured them so that they totalled 12mm

Added benefit is that the caster is fully adjustable, and not just in 6mm increments.

Nevermind, I found what I needed at the most obvious place. The Fiero Store. $19.xx + shipping.
