First off, Happy New Year to all of you!
OK, I took my control arms off to replace the bushings, ball joints, etc. I sanded arms to bare metal and primed and painted them. As I was reading my Chilton's book to ensure I didn't miss anything I ran into a part where it talks about the shim thinkness and location. Since I made a rookie mistake and forgot to take that in account I was wondering if there is a way to re-install the shims to ensure proper adjustment as close as possible. I have somewhat of an idea on to how many shims where on each bolt but as you all know is pretty tight down there and messing with shims is going to be an adventure and a half... Any input is greatly appreciated.
