Default 84-87 vette suspension question and alignment
So has anyone seen this many shims used for alignment? I’m getting ready to redo all the bushings etc but just curious if that many shims is because it’s worn out (it is) or something bigger

That looks normal to me. My 86 looks the same.

Not the same year, but my 1995 looks about that way too.

You can't go negative shims, so the normal range is more than you might expect.
