Re: [Chrysler300] 300L stub frame attachment point shims.

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Carlton;
Best way is on a Frame alignment rack. Note that there are measuring  
points on the frames so that alignment can be done after a wreck. I  
think I have a Body Shop chart for the  "L",  with them shown.

Lacking that, then you could assemble, measure using the frame holes  
mentioned above, or from a fixed point on the left rear, like a spring  
perch, to a fixed point on the right front like the mount point for  
the lower A arm.
Then measure the other way Right rear to Left front. The points must  
be identical on both sides. The measurements must be identical. I  
would start with the shims that came out, where they were. It should  
check OK.

This past weekend I helped my brother remove the stub frame from the  
body of his L. It was very easy to disassemble.

On the front mating area of the stub frame and body on the passenger  
side there were 3 (approx 3" x 6" x 1/16" shims) and on the driver  
side there were 2 of the same shims.

Don will reassemble the same way but we wondered if this was a factory  
procedure to make a final correcting adjustment during assembly. What  
would be measured to determine if / what shims would be necessary?

Thanks,
