Call FMS
They do not have their entire inventory on their web site.
Or can source shims from Mazda ask for 323 shims.
Why do you need them, often the existing shims will work with the new bearings and races!'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

I haven't taken my spare set apart,yet.I just wanted to be prepared.Thought they'd be bad.???Comment

Did you get that set of hubs I sent you yet?Comment

The bearing spacers do not go bad as they are not wear items. The various sizes of spacers are out there to compensate for slight variations in bearings. As PU stated, there is a good chance that the ones you have will work fine.Originally posted by smcawcComment

2000-2002 Kia Rio uses the same spacers in the front hubs.Jim DeAngelis

And there are 21 different shims. It might get pricey buying a full set for each side. I believe they are around $4 each.Comment

kia part# for shims are MB00133041 for the thinnest (6.258mm) to MB02133041 for the thickest (7.085mm) 21 shims avail.Comment

The bearings themselves do not vary enough to worry about. The variance that the shims are for is for the machining of the hub. If you use the old shims with the same hub they came from and replace the bearing, the odds are very good that everything will be fine.Comment
