My first bet would be that one the arm bushings or wheel bearings are circling the drain - in which case shims are not the way to go. If the mount and/or box member and/or axel are bent - you look at shims assuming you can't get them easily straightened. It is a good thing to know exactly what's wrong on those models *before* applying parts. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Messrs Presley Berry - Promised Land http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/211.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in no sign up required - all the Time
