The holes look like they are counter sunk for a screw, weird stuff there.

Degree shim installation question
- Thread starter Cucv_M1008
- Start date
Zero rates should be treated as an overload spring, so shims should be bolted after/below the zero rate
I have a pair of DIY4X 3-piece 4-degree shims for the front Dana-60 axle on my truck, and I was going to put them under the spring pack, but now I think I will go with your method since I do have a set of ORD zero rates.
Maybe somebody already mentioned this, but when putting the center pin through a tapered piece, you should have the mating surface square to the opposite (spring) side, not square to the perch side. You can get a tapered sleeve/washer to accomplish this, but it seems like the fewer pieces involved here the better.
I thought somebody was offering tapered zero rates. They would come with the center pin seat machined to the angle of the opposite side and would satisfy all of these conditions at once.

You definitely need 3 shims on a front 60 application otherwise you will shear studs.
