Lower ball joint shims "cone"

I couldn't find anywhere or I'm not looking hard about the lower ball Joint shims or cones. I purchased some a year and half ago and could never get the cone that comes with it to actually tighten to the control arm. After replacing once more I noticed that the 2003 OEM g35 coupe ball joint shim is much smaller compared to a lot of aftermarket ones out there. Double check before you buy and dont go through this year long headache like me!

The one the left is The brand \"MAS" and comes with the shiny shim which doesn't seat properly on the OEM lower control arm on my 2003 g35 coupe Brembo package. The one the right is mevotech with OEM size shims on.
  • 2005+ use the larger shim on the left
  • 2003-2004 use the smaller shim on the right
