SHIMS...Help

Hey guys,

I'm installing my AAL with TSB in the rear of the truck, and going ahead with installing 3* Toytec shims to prevent any vibes.

Might be a stupid question, but which way to the shims go in? Thick end towards the front of the truck? My buddy and I installed them this way and it looks funny, we're second guessing ourselves.

Please help!

 

ya you second guessed correctly. thick ends to the back of the truck. you want the plum to point up.

Did you get the toytec shims? If so thats what I have and it came with instructions.

 

Doesn't the thick end go towards the front of the truck?

 

I may also have to install some shims to get rid of a small vibration, good to know. Thin side toward the front.

 

the ones from toytec has a cavity cut out, i'm assuming that faces up. Is that correct?

 

ya like Chris said. That cavity is so you can get i past the leaf spring bolt...at least that what it seams like when i installed mine.

 

What does TSB mean?

unfortunately my shims did not come with instructions, but tacomaworld saved the day.

thanks guys, was a quick fix...just loosened up the U-bolts and flipped them. Also put in the driveshaft drop. Slight vibes from 5-10mph and 15-20mph, but barely noticeable. definetly not bad enough for a tom woods driveshaft (well maybe eventually)
