Just installing shims will only work for a short period of time, then the condition will be worse. To do it correctly requires more than just a few shims.

For 88 427 camaro
Can you explain what else should be done besides the shims on a 9 bolt assuming back lash,bearings etc look good? I have in my possesion two die set that i was going to rework so I can punch out multipe shims varying thickness,but I may not be able to rework the punch and die sets till Spring time.Could anybody tell me the tolerance on ID and OD and prefered steel(hopefully not blue steel,spring steel). I saw a posting on not exceeding a specific od and Id but I need these numbers to the Thousands of an inch for Tool and Die work.Thickness reqired, I think if my memory serves me well, were .005,.010,& .050 real bitch to cut blue steel at .050 I'may be able to supply freebeis to third gen member but no promises . Thanks PT
