Just wondering what inner/outer, upper/lower, link pin shim combo you link pin guys are using. It appears that mine may be off a little on one or the other side and I need to re-shim.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
John

I second this...
Whether you replace the torsion arm rubber bushings, replaced torsion springs, torsion arms, beam, or rebuilt the whole front end/beam...things will change.
Not everyone will have the same combo. I would not rely on how other people shimmed their linkpin spindles. You'll need perform the above to shim the linkpin/spindle.

I just didn't know if some of you guys preferred a little extra / \ on the front, nothing drastic though.
