Rear LSD getting a bit tired. To shim or not to shim?

[dansharp]

Hi tried searching and haven't had much luck. My rear lsd is getting a bit tired in my GQ, doesn't always spin 2 for some reason.
Is shimming hard to do or not? Could this be done by me easily enough?
cheers

Air locking would be better if you got the coin lying around but shimming is easy to do and cheap if you are doing it your self

Yeah wedding coming up got the coin but will get the divorce before the wedding if i spend it on anything but the wedding lol.

shiming of an lsd is not a hard thing to do, i usedto have a gq centre in my shed ill pull it open and inspect it to find an apropriate shimming material for advice its all nuts and bolts and its easy

Not sure if it just another cheap ebay piece of junk or if they would be ok
