'91 L300 Camber Shims?

Does anyone know if the shims are the same as for similar year Pajero/Montero? I'm in the USA and I'm wanting to get a 4wd alignment done, but I'm pretty certain I'll have to provide the answers to the shop.

I did a search but came up empty...

L300s don't use shims, at least not according to the parts book or any L300 I've ever seen. Camber and caster are set with the eccentric bolts on the lower wishbone mounts. Does yours have shims now? I wonder if it's been wrecked.

Mitsubishi L200s use camber shims on the top arm- I guess the shims from an L200 might fit on an L300?

I couldn't locate any shims, but the manual I have for an l300 (1980+) says it uses them.

The '79-86 second-gen Delicas are different to the 3rd generation ('86-'94) and may have used shims. You shouldn't need them on a 3rd gen, but I guess they'd probably fit.

The manual I purchased says it's for the L300 "all models," guess it was published before the later models were introduced. Didn't need shims... but I'm not overly enthused with the job the shop did. Close enough I guess... I'll have to see how the tires wear, at least it drives straight/nice.

You've found the factory workshop manual download section on here, right? Though I guess it's not complete- not in English at any rate. There's a full workshop manual in German which is mostly useless to me, but the pictures are sometimes helpful.
