The shims I have seen ONLY fits under the bearing on the carrier. If Brattons carries ones to fit under the cup, what is the part number? It would save me making my own. In my OP, under the bearing is not the optimal place for the shim. No one that I know of is making new carriers and many that you run across are marginal at best because bearings have spun or "JUST" press back on. Every time the bearing is removed and replaced, you are moving metal. So far I have not run into many axle housings that had problems with the cup being loose.
