Gents/ladies,
took the F3 out for a quick blast and have serious 'wander' and very light steering which I'm guessing is a caster problem.
Want to 'play' so am looking to buy some of the 3 degree axle shims...any idea where I can buy them?
Thanks
Bob

Napa Canada don't stock them and won't bring them in.

 

Midfifty has caster wedges. yeah, I think they call them shims, too. About page 162 Their part number 2839-2 and 2839-4. I went back and saw you're talking F-3 but I believe spring width is the same. Measure yours and ask them.

Try a local spring shop in Calgary, I'm sure they should have them or able to make them for you.

 

I was in the Napa store in Cranbrook BC a short while back asking about caster shims and the counterman showed me a catalogue with them in it, and he said he can order them whenever need be. It's strange that a different store can't get them because they are widely used, especially with the big trucks because they all use solid axles.

 

The truck spring shop I went to had them, new and used. Beware of aluminum shims!

 

Thanks for the help,
I ordered them from Mid fiftys with a few other small parts I needed.
