Detailed Description

Mevotech MS40072 is an alignment shim built for front suspension service where camber and caster settings need correction during a wheel alignment. The 1.60 mm thickness and duo-fit design make it a practical choice for vehicles that use OE bolt diameters in the 14 mm to 16 mm range. This part number, MS40072, is listed for a broad range of applications including Chevrolet S10, Toyota Tacoma, GMC Sonoma, and Isuzu Rodeo front suspension systems.

Use MS40072 when the alignment specification calls for shim-based adjustment at the front suspension mounting points. The silver finish and compact 2.21 in length support a straightforward hardware replacement during alignment work on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Astro, GMC Safari, and Honda Passport.

Common Alignment Issues It Can Address

• Front camber out of specification after suspension service
• Front caster correction during alignment setup
• Uneven tire wear caused by incorrect front geometry
• Steering pull related to alignment angle mismatch
• Need for shim-based adjustment on OE bolt-size applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify OE bolt diameter before installation and confirm the vehicle’s alignment specification before selecting shim thickness. MS40072 is listed for front position use only, so match the shim location to the front suspension mounting point called out by the service procedure. After installation, perform a full alignment check to confirm camber and caster settings are within specification.
