Re: A Question about rear axel shims
Like Bob said- "Shims are a good bandaide for a problem that needs fixing the next time you open the differential."
But it is still a band-aid for the real issue. And never EVER use more than one shim. If one shim isn't enough, swap the axle.

If/when installing shims make sure everything is surgically clean, no oil or grease on the axle, the shim, the key or the hub, the same goes when installing hubs w/out a shim.
