If I remember you are supposed to put the new axle in with the
original shim and there should be no visible play but the clip
should just be able to be turned in the groove. If there is play
then you have to measure it and get a new spacer of the correct
size. The problem is that MB doesn't have all of the original
sizes. The last time I tried to get the whole range of sizes The
parts guy told me there was only one size available. So
practically just put it together with the shim you have and be
done with it and that's according to a dealer mechanic that
originally learned from the MB school on the 123 models back in
the day when they were new. For what that's worth.

Yeah that part is important. I will be doing one side at a time so not to
swap shims side to side. Don't they have to do with differential/axle
spacing and sized for specific sides?
Thanks!

Good catch! Shim really, not just a washer.
