XKE Models (1963-73)

Upper and lower ball joints are adjustable by means of shims to set play within limits. Lower ball joint should have 0.004 - 0.006" (0.101 - 0.152 mm) and upper ball joint 0.004" (0.101 mm) axial play. Shims should not be removed to take up excessive wear in the ball pin and socket.
