An alignment shim is installed at the rear wheel to help adjust rear alignment angles toward specification. The MS70038 provides a 0.75° adjustment range, which gives the technician a set amount of correction to work with during a rear alignment.
Signs the rear alignment may need attention include uneven or rapid tire wear, a vehicle that pulls to one side, or an off-center steering wheel. Worn suspension parts or tire problems can cause the same symptoms, so have the alignment measured before choosing a shim. Install the shim according to the vehicle service information, then confirm the final angles on an alignment rack.
