MS86020 Übersicht
What is a camber alignment shim? A camber shim is a thin, precisely-machined metal spacer installed between a vehicle's strut and the knuckle (or spindle) to correct camber angle. Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel as viewed from the front of the vehicle; incorrect camber causes uneven tire wear, pulling, and reduced handling precision. Shims therefore serve as a passive mechanical adjustment device in the steering/suspension subsystem, sitting downstream of springs and dampers and upstream of the wheel/tire assembly.
Key features of the MS86020 include engineered-to-match-or-exceed OE standards, direct-replacement form factor, straightforward installation, and Mevotech's reinforced SupremeTM construction for extended service life. The product is supplied as a single-pack kit. According to distributor listings, the MS86020 is positioned in the Mevotech SupremeTM line, which is engineered for heavier-duty service than the Mevotech original-equipment replacement tier.
Technically, an alignment shim is characterized by its thickness, inner and outer diameters, taper angle (typically 1 to 2 degrees), and material (commonly hardened steel or stainless steel). Mevotech's published product copy emphasizes design best practices, superior materials, and rigorous quality-control standards relative to typical aftermarket alternatives. Exact dimensional specifications, material grade, and country of origin were not available in the verified distributor data reviewed.
Typical applications include front-end alignment correction after suspension repair, camber-angle restoration following wheel-bearing or strut replacement, and use by professional alignment shops on light-truck and passenger-car applications. The product is listed for cross-reference use by multiple aftermarket distributors and is compatible with the GM part-numbering catalog as a non-OEM substitute.
When selecting this part, confirm the shim dimensions (thickness, ID/OD, taper) match the original equipment; verify it is the correct front (not rear) orientation; and use a quality alignment fixture to measure camber before and after installation. Mevotech's SupremeTM tier offers reinforced construction over standard-tier replacements for higher-load service environments.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing from Partzilla, Summit Racing, FinditParts, CARiD, and Vivid Racing along with cross-reference context not consolidated on any single manufacturer datasheet. Note that MS86020 is a mechanical automotive part rather than an electronic component, so several datasheet parameters typical of semiconductors do not apply.

Typische Anwendungen
MS86020 ist geeignet für 7 Anwendungs: Front-End Camber Correction After Strut Replacement, Wheel-Alignment Shop Service Repair, Light-Truck Suspension Restoration, Passenger-Car Camber Restoration, Suspension Overhaul After Collision Repair, Tire-Wear Correction Service, Aftermarket Suspension Upgrade Installation.
Front-End Camber Correction After Strut Replacement
When a vehicle's front strut is replaced, the camber angle can shift outside the manufacturer's specified tolerance, producing uneven tire wear and steering pull. The MS86020 SupremeTM shim installs between the strut and the knuckle to restore camber to specification. Its reinforced construction provides dimensional stability under the cyclic loads transmitted through the front suspension. Professional alignment measurement before and after installation confirms that camber has been returned to within the manufacturer's tolerance window.
Empfohlen
Wheel-Alignment Shop Service Repair
Wheel-alignment shops stock the MS86020 as a routine camber-correction consumable when servicing passenger cars and light trucks. The part is supplied in single-pack quantities, allowing technicians to use one or more shims per wheel to dial in the correct camber angle. Its direct-replacement form factor enables straightforward installation during standard alignment procedures. Mevotech's SupremeTM construction supports extended service life in fleet and high-mileage vehicles that frequently require alignment correction.
Empfohlen
Light-Truck Suspension Restoration
Light trucks that carry heavy loads or tow frequently experience camber drift as suspension geometry shifts under load. The MS86020 corrects front camber on these applications to restore even tire wear and predictable handling. Its reinforced Mevotech SupremeTM design withstands the higher static and dynamic loading typical of light-truck service. Installation pairs naturally with a four-wheel alignment check to confirm both camber and toe are within manufacturer specification after suspension work.
Empfohlen
Passenger-Car Camber Restoration
Passenger cars with worn or replaced front suspension components often require camber re-alignment to correct uneven tire wear. The MS86020 provides an aftermarket direct-replacement shim specifically engineered for this restoration service. Its straightforward installation allows the technician to insert the shim without modifying surrounding components. Combined with a fresh alignment, the MS86020 returns the front wheels to the manufacturer's specified camber angle and restores predictable steering behavior.
Empfohlen
Suspension Overhaul After Collision Repair
Vehicles undergoing collision repair frequently need front-suspension overhaul, including camber correction to bring the steering geometry back to specification. The MS86020 functions as a direct-replacement shim during this overhaul, installed alongside new struts, control arms, or knuckle assemblies. Its OE-matching form factor ensures dimensional compatibility with the surrounding suspension structure, while Mevotech's reinforced design supports the long service life expected after a major repair.
Empfohlen
Tire-Wear Correction Service
Uneven tire wear, especially on the inner or outer shoulder of the front tires, often indicates incorrect camber that can be corrected with a shim such as the MS86020. The part installs between the strut and knuckle to bring the wheel back to vertical, eliminating the geometric source of the wear pattern. Combined with a four-wheel alignment, the MS86020 restores even contact-patch loading and extends tire service life. Mevotech's SupremeTM construction provides confidence in long-term dimensional stability.
Empfohlen
Aftermarket Suspension Upgrade Installation
Installing aftermarket lowering springs, performance struts, or coilovers typically requires camber correction beyond the OE adjustment range, which is where shims like the MS86020 come in. The part adjusts camber on-demand to compensate for the geometry change introduced by the suspension upgrade. Its direct-replacement form factor simplifies installation for the enthusiast or professional installer. Following the upgrade, a four-wheel alignment with camber correction using the MS86020 brings the vehicle back into safe, predictable handling.

Designhinweise
Before installing the MS86020, confirm the shim dimensions (thickness, inner and outer diameters, taper angle in degrees) match the original equipment being replaced. A shim with the wrong thickness will move camber the wrong direction, and one with the wrong inner diameter will not seat properly on the strut or knuckle boss. Always measure camber before and after installation with a calibrated alignment fixture, and document both readings for the customer's records.
The MS86020 installs in the gap between the strut flange and the steering knuckle, oriented with the taper facing the direction that produces negative camber correction as needed. Tighten the strut-to-knuckle bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque before measuring camber with an alignment machine. Estimated: shim thickness is typically 1-3 mm for passenger-car applications; installer should verify exact dimension before final torque-up to avoid stripping knuckle threads.
The MS86020 is a passive mechanical component experiencing thermal cycling from -40C ambient cold-start conditions to high summer underhood temperatures in the suspension environment. Mevotech's SupremeTM tier is engineered for thermal dimensional stability under these cycling conditions. After installation in cold weather, allow the suspension to warm to operating temperature before final torque and alignment to ensure the shim settles into its design position before camber is locked in.

RoHS, REACH, halogen-free, lead-free, and conflict-mineral compliance statements apply to electronic components and were not available in the verified mechanical-parts distributor data.
