Man it's been a while since I've been on here, starting to get excited! Kid keeps asking for snow already! Lol. Anyways, I thought in my spare time I would maybe tighten up all the bushings with some shims. Just wondering if thin aluminum will work. I think there was a thread somewhere about shimming bushings in your skid, but can't remember where I saw it. Will shimming work in the ski spindles as well? There's lots of play in mine...also where do I put the shim? Around the metal collar that the bolts slide through, or around the plastic bushings? Thanks guys, appreciate any help as always!
The ones I did, I did it around the outside of the bushing using shim stock from work. Betheviper did the write up and he used metal coffe can for material.

This will give you the method to align and tighten the front end up.

That's the thread I was looking for! Thanks guys! I wish I have thought of the pop can before I went out and spent $15 on a roll of aluminum. Lol oh well, still way cheaper than new bushings! Tightened up the front end last night..
