Key Features

• Steel construction for durable suspension alignment service
• Rectangle shape with gold finish
• 1/32-degree increments for fine alignment adjustment
• Designed as a direct replacement alignment shim
• Part number 533-035 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Dorman alignment shim is made for vehicles that require precise suspension alignment correction in tandem-axle configurations. The steel body, rectangular profile, and 1/32-degree increment design support accurate adjustment where small changes in shim thickness matter. With an inside diameter of 27 and outside diameter of 35, this shim is built to match the original equipment application on a wide range of Freightliner and International trucks. Part number 533-035 is a practical replacement choice for service work on models such as the Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner Columbia, and International 9900i. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., K8925) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Correcting suspension alignment after wear or service
• Adjusting axle geometry in tandem-axle truck setups
• Replacing a worn or missing OE shim
• Fine-tuning alignment when small thickness changes are required
• Restoring proper fit in heavy-duty steering and suspension service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s tandem-axle application and compare the shim dimensions before installation. Use the listed fitment data to confirm the correct Freightliner or International model, and match the shim thickness and increment specification to the alignment correction needed. Part number 533-035 should be checked against the original shim profile during service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman states that this alignment shim is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to provide reliable replacement for the original equipment on specific vehicles.
