Ordered a set of hub shims from him yesterday dinner-timeish, and they arrived first thing this morning, and are now fitted


Top top service Mike

they alter the Toe angle on the rear wheels - instead of toeing out, they now toe in and therefore this will reduce the inner edge wear on the tyres at the back

Very stupid given what Paul has just posted .

Perhaps Paul should have done one of his fitment guides?

Just the toe, to alter the camber you will need one of Zoo's rear beams.
