Re: A Question about rear axel shims
I have bought mine from Snyders. I have one shim in each axle. I tighten my axle nuts to 100 foot-pounds. The taper is what keep the hub from moving relative to the axle. The key is there for a backup. The shim will not effect the axle to hub lock with the right torque on the nut. If in doubt use some of the red Loctite. The nuts should be checked after 100 miles and then each year or more if you are driving across the US.
