Raise your hands if the grinding noise that screams in your ear when you try to start your car pisses you off? But with starter shims, you can get rid of the grinding noise and even end the reign that makes it difficult for you to start your car. Every time you hit the starter, the noise could hit the atmosphere and go on for a while till your car starts. However, when your car refuses to start, another problem could be responsible for it. So, before you assume that the starter shim is why your car refuses to start, you should consult your mechanic first. However, the lack of Shim in your starter is primarily responsible for the near-deafening grinding sound or cranks. For instance, when the distance between the flywheel teeth and your starter is too small or too far, your car would get cranky that it starts to make those unpleasant moody sounds. Another possible reason for vehicle crank noise when you start your vehicle is when your mounting bolt is loose. So, the next time your car lets out a loud screech-like or grinding sound when you try to start it, observe the vehicle for a couple of days. If you know your way around diagnosing vehicles and fixing them, feel free to check the car for diagnosis.
