67 big-block - I noticed 2 shims on outboard side of the left rear trailing arm moving freely. On further investigation it appeared that a shim was missing. The shims on the car are the correct type (not slotted) so the only possibility I can see is that if one fell out, it must have be a slotted type.
the castle nut also appeared to over tightened since its slots were well below were a cotter-pin would have worked properly.
can the through-bolt be removed and replaced with the arm in position? I realize I could use a slotted shim for that gap, but would prefer to keep it correct.
