Re: Where might I find "Degree Wedges" for my axle.
Just curious. What would be the advantage to aluminum shims at all?

Re: Where might I find "Degree Wedges" for my axle.
The advantage is all in the manufacturing. Most of the aluminum shims and
blocks are cast, so there is no, or very little machining involved. If they
are machined, as in some billet blocks, then the aluminum is much cheaper to
machine and wears out much less tooling per 1000 pieces. There is no benefit
for the end user, just the manufacturer.

Re: Where might I find "Degree Wedges" for my axle.
Right, Chris. On the front axle they're far more liable to break and spit
out the side. Having this happen in the rear is one thing, in the front
something else again.
Funny, I tried to get shims at the local NAPA and got blank stares, then
they scratched their heads. Next I went to an alignment shop & they gave me
a blank look. I finally called Avalanche who put me on to Poison Spyder.
Something else, it's a good idea to get shims that are held in place by the
spring pins.
