What shims for rear toe adjustment?

[StuOwen86]

I had my car set up a while back at Blink and I needed some rear shims too sort out the toe but I'm looking for shims and don't want too buy the wrong ones. Below is my printout I was given and as you can see the rear toe on one side is out or in lol so I'm going too have it redone soon as I'm having new track rods/ends done on the front so may as well have the rear sorted and checked. So could anyone help me out as too what degree or percent shims I would need to correct that toe.

Thanks

Either a 10 or 20 minute shim you need from Pure Motorsport.

Obviously 20 will bring it down to 0'08 and 10 will be 0'18.

20 minute being a closer match to the left side of 0'11.

 

[StuOwen86]

can you buy them in singles? I'm assuming I just need the one for that side?

Just seen on Pure website these in Single http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=126&model=-1 would this be the one I'm after, I'll email pure I think just too be sure.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, that's the one. I've got one to fit on mine too.

Cheers @JamesBryan

Just ordered it so hoping too get it all done and set up.

 

[JamesBryan]

As long as you fit it the right way round, it'll be fine. Otherwise you'll have a bit more camber haha.

 

[StuOwen86]

Are they fairly easy too fit? Assuming that I get it the right way round haha.. had a quick read on the pure fitting instructions but always sounds easier on paper.

 

[JamesBryan]

I've not done mine yet, but from what i've seen it looks easy enough.

The 4 stub axle bolts can shear off so i've heard, so that's one to watch out for.

I forget why but the rear with shims is an arse to set up.

How do you mean Dan? Hard to fit?

From what I've seen, it's just a fit and done job. Is it not that simple? Haha

 

[imprezaworks]

I don't know mate, I can't remember. I'm sure if they are fitted wrong it's an arse to re fit. Is it not a pain to initially fit them? I might be getting confused with sonething else

 

[JamesBryan]

The disc/hub needs to come off yeah. The pain from what I've read is the 4 bolts holding the axle on can shear off and they're not available from Renault as a replacement iirc.

Must be something else I'm thinking of

 

[StuOwen86]

Anyone know which way the shim needs too be fitted I'm assuming the rear wheel is facing into the car with that toe (like towards the front passenger side) ? So would want to fit the shim I have with the narrow part at the rear of the car get the wheel to come out a little.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, the wheel is pointing in towards the car.

So you want the thin side at the rear (it's marked with an arrow i think).
