I got both sides out today. Has only light surface rust. No shims on the left side. The right side had one .015" shim under one bolt. Bottom rear bolt only. Bob Dunahugh

If.every thing was perfect and to spec no shims would be needed. If the rear alignment is good then you are good To go.

Usually, the rear does not require much in the way of shims as
manufactured. But "life happens". The use of the coach exposes the
suspension to immovable objects, that bend stuff up or down, in or out a
bit. To correct it, shimmining or bending is in order. Tire wear often is
an indicator that something is not right. Careful measurements, and
comparisons to factory specifications usually tell the story. Experience
helps.
