Shim are more or less high precision spacers. very thin metal donuts that fill the space where the diff moves. They go in between the bearing and the differential mounts.

Your plastic front diff mount may be worn. My cars do not have any play in that department. I wouldnt worry about it to be honest
do you know where I can get the shims that would fit the 8ight diff? I found two in the bag that looks like shims to me, not sure if these are the ones. Also my buggy is brand new out of the box so there is no worn. I think the play is because of the RCM motor mount, the stock plastic mount has no play.
