Caster shim 2 degrees off will it matter?

[Paul G]

So I split my aluminum caster shim and didn't know what angle it was. Later on found out it was a 6 but I installed a 4 degree (steel). Any harmful effects having less than 2 degrees of a difference? BTW since I was wrenching anyway, I changed all the leaf bushings and DAYUM ! drives like a car no wallowing and wandering. If your having wandering issues and your bushings are gone it might be time.

you're just causing undue stress on parts.

A bit of good news ! So recalibrated my Clinometer and WALA ! The shim previous to the new ones installed are also 4 degrees .
