Hi Trjohn57, I used new knurled bolts when I put it back together. The bolts are long enough to add 1/2" of shims, but wouldn't that make matters worse ? I asked Bruce (Alignment guy) if I could come back to talk with him when I decided what I was going to do and he was okay with it. Tomorrow( Mon ) I am going to stop after work and run a couple of things by him and see what he says. His answers will help me decide whether to stay with him or not. Thanks , Bill
