ABSTRACT:
A shim is used to adjust camber in a wheel mounted on a suspension assembly that has a mounting plate with an opening for a drive axle for mounting both a brake caliper and a hub and wheel bearing assembly associated with the wheel. The shim has a central shim body tapered to define a shim angle. The shim body has a drive axle opening therethrough and a plurality of openings for fasteners connecting the hub and wheel bearing assembly to the mounting plate. At least one brake caliper lobe extends from the central shim body and provides an extension of the central shim body defining the same shim angle as the shim body. The lobe further has an opening therethrough for a fastener connecting the brake caliper to the mounting plate. The shim is interposed between the mounting plate, on the one hand, and the disk brake caliper and hub and wheel bearing assembly, on the other hand, to adjust the angle of both by the defined shim angle.
