My BJ8, phase 2 did not have the spacer between the wheel bearings so ones were ordered along with a shim kit and new bearings
I now need .091" of shims to achieve .001" of end float which seems like a lot of shims and more like a washer sized spacer
The bearing races are pressed home and the distance between the races is fixed, so I do not see how I could have made a mistake.
All the shims do is space out the outer bearing in order to give clearance.
I did fit a new inner bearing spacer at the same time, however all this does is locate the hub asembly on the spindle and does not affect the end float
Is this an abnormal number of shims?
