Unless I am mistaken, the shims are to adjust the freeplay. You should have the same thickness under both the upper and lower mounts so that the m/c stays in line. Of course, I could be mistaken...

Always happy to help! BTW, finding the specs for the free play may be tough. If you need help on that, let me know and I will dig through my books.
