I think you have to buy a set and you will need them when it comes for a rear alignment.

Thanks, but I'm only looking for 4x 1/16" shims and the kits usually only contain two of them.

My stainless shim kit from vansteel came with eight or more of them, plus four 1/4" and four 1/8". Kind of expensive though.

Check with Brian at Bair's. They repro the shims, and might sell individual ones, or may be willing too.

Thanks for the help. After some research I found that Specialty Products part #47172 is a 6-pack of 1/16" shims and I found a pack for $10 on ebay.
