    if it doesnt look straight its because the axle is bent. Depending on how far off it is, you may not be able to fix it with shims. The shims go behind the stub axle/hub which bolts to the main axle.

    coincidentally, i was going to make a post asking if anyone had pics/info on the alignment shims to use? Does anyone have pics/info?

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    I know you can get them after market in a couple diff sizes. have to take the hub off(4 bolts) to put them

    Prob have to get an alignment and see, then add the shims and realign to check

    Nah, my guy is good, he knows what's going on with these cars. He has a CSXT with a 2.5/Neon hybrid engine.
