[VB] [T2] Link Pin shims

[Chris Dreike]

Update. I disassembled the passenger side suspension including the trailing
arms. Nothing to indicate what is squeaking. All the bearings were clean
and smooth. I disassembled the driver side as far as removing the king
pin assembly. Again nothing to indicate what is squeaking. I put it all
back together making sure that everything is well greased. No joy. the
squeak persists whenever I drive through a dip that makes the suspension
make a good excursion. I crawled under the bus and got a buddy to bounce
the bus for a while. I could not hear any squeaks. I'm stumped. Any
suggestions? I did not lube the stabilizer bar rubber bushings. Maybe?
Tomorrow I'll squirt some WD-40 into those.

Cheers,
Chris
