[Camarogbg]

Probably a stupid question.
Where can i buy alignment shims for the uca? I have a -68 camaro.
Just like these in the pic...

I'm fairly certain they are available at local auto pats stores in the US. I don't know if that helps you however.

$5.95 for a set of 9; http://www.firstgen.com/catalog/Ricks-56-93.pdf
I'm not at home right now, but I'm quite sure that Year One also sells them.

NAPA or Carquest should be able to get them for you.
but I used to sell a package deal at the old shop Iused to be the alignment tech for. I would sell 8 each of 1/8th,1/16.1/32,1/64 for about 20 bucksthis usually gave them enough to put in fresh unrusted shims in and then it made my job easier to set the front end up properly.
My suggestions are always mark and reinstall the factory(or what you had in when you tore it down)back in as it give a better base to get references into the alignment computer. Also I like to make a par of scratch bars with nails all in the same place so as to gettheto as close to zero with out having too much or too little.when asked if they should have any toe in in it I would tell them to just give each side a 1/4 turn each on(shortening on front steer) the adjuster sleeves, then lock them down.
