When taking my trailing arms out I noticed that I had three shims on the passenger side and only two on the driver's. Is that normal? I think I remember how they were set up for reinstall, but is there any general wisdom on how to configure them when I put the suspension back in. I'll have the rear aligned by my shop when they reinstall the engine, so maybe this is not very important. Thanks, John
