WTB: stock caster shims

Does anyone have a set of stock caster adjustment shims lying around that you would be willing to sell?
I cannot for the life of me find a set and the dealer only has access to different ones (basically same as aftermarket)
I need a stock set for suspension changes I am going to make

thanks 👍🏻

SPC offers caster bushings that would align with stock values if you can't find the OEM bushings. https://www.spcalignment.com/compone...AFrom&to=USATo

ya, i saw that. thank you.
that may be what I will end up doing. looks like the stock shims are 0.4* caster. I can get the 0.5* SPC bushings and go from there

I broke a chunk off the lip of the passenger side but you are welcome to have mine if you want them. PM me your address and I'll send them to you.

Just FYI - I put both shims in the box. The .12 has a chunk missing off the lip but it is still completely serviceable / usable.

I am also looking for a 0.4 degree shim that is R+ 0.25 / L-0.25. Anyone else have one of these? This is the same as the left one shown in the photo above.

Not to hijack the thread....

I'm about to swap my Carli shims out and go back to stock. Can anyone tell me which ones go on what side? How are they oriented?

Thanks

I had the exact same question. It seems like it is a crap shoot which side they go on. I came across several pictures of them installed. It seems like there was almost a 50/50 split of which side they went on.
I ended up putting the .12 on the passenger side and the .25 on the driver side. My alignment according to the machine was perfect. Camber was essentially 0 and caster was fine. search for my other thread on this.

They orient with the flat edge on the inside against the knuckle
