My car is fitted with shorter springs to lower the ride height. At the front, the wheels tilt inwards at the top, so my tyres are wearing unevenly on the inner edge. I recall reading on here that adding shims between the innermost mounting point of the front upper links and the bulkhead can rectify this issue. I've not seen the shim in question. Here's a photo I've 'borrowed' from a post on the faceache P6 club page. The person who posted it wondered what the items are, and somebody suggested that the four items on the left were just such shims for the upper links. Can anybody confirm this? Why are there two different shapes? Has anybody here done this themselves? At some point I'm going to need to change the rubbers on the swivel pillars that contact the front spring cup, at which time I'm thinking about reverting from poly bushes to Wadhams' rubber bushes in the top links, and perhaps adding some shims if anybody here can advise on design, thickness etc.
