OK, Brad;

I'll stand corrected, but the shop manual looks like there's a shim outside the seal ring; However, it's the
champher/radius of the trailing arm 'eyes'.

Anyone know, or can easily measure how wide a new link pin bushing is?

Thanks

Phil,

I'm assuming "Wide" is referring to the dimension end to end, not diameter.
Will check.

Thanks a ton Brad. The 1.335 is what I needed, as I had to grind mine down to match the worn knuckle and forgot to measure before grinding. Now I know how many extra shims I need to get back to stock thickness.
