Re: upper A-arm shim's
Same here. Its really hard to find some one that knows what the heck there doing to align the front end.
Ive seen some place for shims that are like anywhere from 1/2" to 1 1/4" thick to use. Just cant remember where I say them.

Re: upper A-arm shim's
even on non lowered cars sometimes they want to work their way out you just gotta make sure the nuts that hold em in on the control arm are in real good

Re: upper A-arm shim's
I had a 1978 step side that had cut coils and I always had problems with the shims falling out. I took it to a heavy duty truck shop. They measured the amount of shims I needed and replaced them with washers. The washers wont fall out and they left a little room to install one or two shims for final alignment. I never had a problem after that. I hope this helps.
