hello can any body tell me where i can buy some sierra camber shims for the rear hubs,cheers andy

 

mike rainbird R&B Motorsport

 

There a guy on the sierra owners forum makes them on there

 

Or you can make some out of 1mm steel sheet

take hub off cut to fit bolt holes without fouling driveshaft bolt back together.

 

Don't they fit under the top/back 2 studs or something?

 

Here's mine fitted.

 

thanks for the info lads

 

Just Curious ...... but how much negative camber does those shimms give you say on standard ride hight ?????

marco

 

Not sure on standard ride height... As mines dropped 20mm on Ahmed springs... Iirc they make up the 6degrees mate.

 

They are only for small corrections I think mate.

 

Bettison on Fsoc site sells them and sometimes on ebay too.
1mm steel will make a 1mm spacer, not a cambered shim

 

They don't, thats the problem, they remove the negative camber and so give the tyres a better foot print (This is why they wear on the inside edges)

I should imagine even on standard ride height they may help as due to how low they sit thats what causes the negative camber, especially on 2WD models.

Martin

 

make sure you get the bearing carriers reprofiled so that the bolts can still sit flush when they are torqued up or the heads could snap off, I believe Matts already had this done to his.

 

Not if you only put it under 2 bolts which is what you do if you fit the r&b kit.

 

Yea that's right Paul... It's piece of mind more then owt.

 

Alright Martin

I understand how they work........... .lol.... i was just wounding how much negative camber they would take out on standard car hight

marco

 

2 degrees max Marco , i always used Dennis from Domes ones ,anything more and they hit the Abs ring on the driveshaft mate .

 

just found a set on ebay for 35 quid, is that expensive???

 

Yep they are Ł27 on the FSOC mate, I think that's posted too.

thats ok if your a member tho some one pm me please

 

that site didnt work for me either

 

trouble joining the site for me

 

ive got mine fitted but havent driven it yet so cannot comment - car is lowered a fair bit too. They are the same as Ade and Matt's from that Bettison guy on FSOC.

Look a better kit than the R&B items too imo

Could you not just use a shimmed washer and longer bolts????

You could but how safe they are would be a concern... The shims spread the loads over the correct surface area.

 

This might be a stupid question but can you use shims on the front too?

 

Sorry, not instead of the camber shim mate, i ment instead of having the bearing carrier modified so the back of the fixing bolt sat flat on the face, just use a washer of the same angle as the main shim, I hope that makes sence

How thick are they Matt, If i recall when i fitted mione which i got from Mike they were only very thin shims?

Steve

 

nice one Tony thanks for that ..... I have the Dome ones in mine when it was set up by Tal

Graham if you struggle I will go to the lads house.. I did make copies of mine but haven't had the time to make any.

 

Thanks Matt ill see how i get on Sunday if not ill pm you

 

Ok mate.

 

Anyone know where I can get these nowadays?

You have PM mate.

 

I might be interested if he ain't

 

You can put two washers on top bolt holes that works too
