So I purchased the Goodparts adjustable trailing arm brackets from TRF taking advantage of their 30% off sale. The problem is, after reading the instructions for the install, I was under the misconception that these brackets eliminated the need for <span style="font-weight: bold">shims</span> between the bracket and the frame. I think I was wrong as the instructions detail the need to install the proper shims. All the shims that were behind my OE brackets fell out when I removed them and are now in a neat, random pile on my garage floor. Now, the alignment shop that I use has plenty of shims and understands 4-wheel alignment but they are 30 miles away from me. Can I install the brackets without shims, snug everything down randomly, and drive the 30 miles up the highway to have them loosen the brackets and install shims.
Nice move on my part to just drop the old shims without recording how many went where. Not my day.
