shims in(rt side almost done)
left 1 thin shim out, would rather start out a bit loose so no binding. Still have to rebuild caliper and put on shock and spring bolt.

Test drive
5 miles listening for rattles from the slightly loose TA's - NONE. (did make noise past 3 years).
1st hard right turn, perfect drift, no steering correction.
2nd, no drama, not enough throttle.
3rd near WOT sent it to 1 fishtail i let off; again no steering correction (happened too fast for me to react) and ended up exactly in my lane..
4th - thinking about #3, and the cold temps 51F i had enough testing for today.
Brakes work good, but seems to take more effort with o-rings.
Alignment seems OK, can take my hands off wheel for 5 seconds, at which time it tends to inch left. Good but not perfect.
