I am replacing the rear shocks and front strut assemblies on both my 94 850T Wagon and my 95 850T Sedan. Along with the shocks, I am replacing the spring seats and upper mounts as well as the roll bar connecting links. The question is that in the Haynes manual, they recommend having two spacer sleeves for the steering knuckle bolt holes (Section 10.4.8 in the manual). Has anyone found that having more or less than the factory set up was necessary? I haven't started to pull the assemblies apart yet as the shocks, etc. are in transit and I don't want to start disassembly until everything is ready, so I don't know if either car has any or all of the sleeves. The Haynes manual indicates that the sleeves may then be removed when the front camber angle is adjusted. I suspect that this may be an item my dealer would have to order, so I don't want to go through that aggrevation unless it is necessary.

Any input would be appreciated!
