if I understood correctly, as long as the force is greater than 3.5kg it is not necessary to put shims? or after inserting the shims the force must not exceed 3.5kg?
It doesn't want to be much below as it will most likely wobble. Much more than 3.5kg and the steering can be heavy and the bearings will wear even quicker.
hello, I have another question, whether the shims are placed on the lower bearing or only on the upper. i watched clips on which they put shims only above. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Top or bottom will achieve the same result. The reality is it's just easier to put them at the top as gravity is not involved when you reassemble.
If I was fitting more than one I personally would split them top / bottom just to keep things central, but again this may be my OCD rather than a practical requirement as we are (should be) talking small shim thickness.
