Metal Shim

Metal Shim

The metal shim series comprises precision-stamped components for suspension geometry alignment, clearance elimination, and axle positioning — introducing precise thickness variation at the installation point to achieve wheel alignment parameter adjustment or fit clearance compensation. Shims are installed between the suspension and body attachment points, control arm mounting faces, or wheel hub bearing housings, altering suspension geometry or filling fit clearances by adding or adjusting shim thickness.
This series covers four configurations — Double-Ear Diamond Shims, Multi-Hole Ring Shims, Miniature Thin Round Shims, and Multi-Profile Four-Hole Shims — manufactured through precision stamping processes and widely applied in passenger car suspension alignment, commercial vehicle axle adjustment, and construction equipment clearance compensation.
This series offers multiple profile configurations of precision-stamped shims, meeting adjustment requirements across different mounting interfaces and load conditions.

Core Advantages

 

1

Precision Stamping - Manufactured through precision stamping processes, ensuring consistent thickness, accurate hole positions, and clean edges across every batch. Tooling precision guarantees dimensional stability in high-volume production - no secondary fitting required, ready for direct installation.

2

Accurate Thickness Control - Thickness tolerances are strictly controlled to ensure each shim delivers a predictable geometric change. By combining shims of different thicknesses, cumulative adjustment accuracy down to micrometer levels is achievable.

3

Full Coverage with Four Configurations - Double-ear diamond for MacPherson and air suspension alignment; multi-hole ring for heavy truck wheel-end adjustment; miniature round for compact-space precision positioning; four-hole custom profile for construction equipment and heavy truck attachment alignment - all supported by a single quality system.

4

High-Strength Material Options - Available in quality carbon steel or stainless steel. Different grades selected based on application - corrosion-resistant materials for passenger car suspension; high-strength wear-resistant grades for heavy truck and construction equipment.

5

Surface Protection Options - Available with zinc plating, Dacromet, phosphating, or e-coat finishes to meet salt spray corrosion resistance requirements for chassis and underbody environments.

6

Easy Installation & Maintenance - Shims install directly at suspension or axle attachment points. Adjustment can be performed without disassembling surrounding components, reducing labor hours. Stacking multiple shims provides flexible adjustment increments while reducing inventory variants.

7

Complete Dimensional Verification - Thickness, flatness, hole positions, and profile contours are verified by CMM or optical measurement. Full inspection documentation accompanies each batch with complete traceability.

Application Scenarios

 

Double-Ear Diamond Shims

Installed at MacPherson strut control arm attachment points or air suspension height valve connection points. By adjusting shim thickness or quantity, suspension geometry angles change - enabling precise camber and caster alignment to optimize tire contact patch and vehicle handling characteristics.

01

Multi-Hole Ring Shims

Installed on heavy-duty truck axle hub end faces or wheel hub bearing housing mating faces. Ring shims eliminate axial fit clearances or adjust preload, ensuring wheel-end bearing play meets specifications and preventing premature bearing wear.

02

Miniature Thin Round Shims

For precision positioning in miniature or compact spaces. Common in precision adjustment mechanisms or assembly clearance compensation - stacking thin shims to achieve micrometer-level accuracy.

03

Multi-Profile Four-Hole Shims

Installed at construction equipment structural joint connection points or heavy truck attachment mounting faces. Four-hole locating provides precise planar position adjustment - suitable for frame articulation joint clearance compensation and assembly deviation correction.
