If you bought a swivel hub kit that didn't include the felt wiper seals then return it for a refund a get a full kit.

Shims are available from Suzuki or if you are really keen you could buy some "Shim in a can" and make some.

I purchased a swivel hub rebuild kit from suziauto. Came with felts rubbers metal gasket things inner axle seal kingpin bearings and a 1 new shim for each side. I have one sitting downstairs but seeing as I payed $145 for the 2 kits ill be keeping it lol

I know It should've come with it,but me being a tight arse I thought I would give the new CBC bearing's overhaul kits a go and it was a special order item so no luck on returning for money only a store credit which was no use to me so im stuck with it .
looks like it might be time to cough up some more cash!
reeceh,your kit only came with one new shim for each side?ive done several hilux/landcruiser/patrol diff rebuilds and they all came with multiple shims?or as sierra diffs pretty easy to get set up right?i tried using the old shims but it is wayyyy to tight for my liking!

I just followed suziauto advice. They said if u use the same amount as stock which was 2 shims on top and one on bottom then it should be fine. It drives fine, it had a bad wobble before I overhauled it all and now it's gone. I did a heap of research on here. My best advice is type in kingpin or swivel hub into search and it will bring up pages of good info. Pretty sure boosted brick did a write up.

do you remember what size the shims were mate?LROR sell them as singles and I can get the felt seals through them aswell.
rang repco,suziworld,trans-gears and diffs and don kyatt 4x4.apparently the sierra kit's are the only ones that don't come with shim/s for there the overhaul kit's.

I have new felt seals and both sizes of king pin shims here. PM me if you're still looking.
