The selection includes two thicknesses (1\/16\" and 1\/8\") across U- and C-style profiles and two slot widths (3\/8\" and 1\/2\"), all organized in a clear plastic case for quick selection on the bench or in the field. Zinc plating improves corrosion resistance, so the shims stay usable in garages and body shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these shims help when fitting body panels and fenders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese shims provide incremental spacing between panels, hinges, or mounting bolts to level gaps and reduce rubbing or misalignment. Using a thin shim is a fast, reversible way to achieve uniform gaps without modifying the vehicle structure. They are especially useful during reassembly after repairs or when swapping body parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides precise spacing with 1\/16\" and 1\/8\" thickness options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlotted design fits 3\/8\" and 1\/2\" bolts for common mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoth U and C profiles adapt to hinge, bracket, and panel edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this kit be used to adjust camber, toe, and caster settings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shims are suitable for small adjustments to suspension mounting points that influence camber, caster, and toe when the vehicle design uses shims for alignment. They allow technicians to change mounting geometry without replacing control arms or unequal parts.
