G'day All!

Does someone know what the shim size (bolt hole size) the 122 control arms use? I need to purchase a complete set of shims to do my next wheel alignment (There are no shims at all at the moment).


Thanks!
Alex.

    They are 7/16"/11mm bolts. 12mm or ½" bolt size would work also, but fit looser.
    The standard ones are kinda long and deep, about an inch wide and maybe
    1 ¼" long

      Alex. Most wheel alignment shims are open elongated slots which can be slipped in or out by just loosening control arm bolts. Any wheel alignment shop will have buckets of them, or go to wreckers and get Holden shims. I assume you have access to wheel alignment equipment. Jack.
