[1965 Pontiac Parisienne]

I just assembled my steering gear box back in the car. Now I saw I have three shims still in my steering gear box parts tub and I Renner they falling off as I dissembled the steering gear box a few weeks ago.

So I sure these shins are located between gear box and frame.

I didn’t have any pics from the steering gear box before in the car .. my 65 Pontiac manual book says that there re sometimes these shims factory equipped. They’re eating the steering gear box noise to driver .

Is this possible?

Thx
Here’s a pic of the shims

And they definitely not from cast / camber upper control arm .. but looking same
