2500/3500 Series Shimming Procedure

1. With wheel removed install 3.5 mm shim (p/n 04863760), make sure that the shim is installed as marked "THIS SIDE OUT."

2. Install the wheel on the rotor, make sure that the wheel is centered on the studs and partially tighten all of the lug nuts following the pattern given in the appropriate Ram Truck Service Manual, Group 22.

3. Finish tightening the lug nuts to 180 N.m (135 ft. lbs.) (2500 Series) or 195 N.m (145 ft. lbs.) (3500 Series) following the pattern given in Group 22.

4. Road test the vehicle again as described in step 7 through 11 in the Diagnosis section of the Suspension Geometry Evaluation. If the condition is corrected, the repair is complete. If the vehicle drifts to the opposite direction than originally found then repeat steps 1 through 3, using a 2.0 mm shim (pIn 04863759).

5. If the vehicle continues to drift in the same direction as originally found then a thicker shim must be used. Repeat steps 1 through 3 using a 5.0 mm shim (p/n 04863761). Road test the vehicle again as described in step 7 through 11 in the diagnosis section of the Suspension Geometry Evaluation. It the condition is corrected, the repair is complete. However if the vehicle still continues to drift in the same direction as originally found, then a thicker than 5.0 mm shim must be used. In this event the wheel studs must be replaced.
