The plastic shims are fitted as per your needs - the idea being to remove slop and spacing your arms according to your preferred Wheelbase.

Use these shims to help take up unwanted play and maintain precise arm alignment where the suspension arm meets the hinge pin or mount. As a genuine Corally spare, the C-00180-055 part number makes it easy to reference and match in your parts list. Suggested compatibility will vary by vehicle; consult your model manual or Corally documentation when selecting shims.
 
First of all, thanks for your reply, but I was wondering how they were arranged (between the front and rear) before I disassembled it. I checked the exploded view, but it only lists the part number, so I don't know how they were arranged on the stock model.

That's because they're used in accordance with how much (or little) play is present. Moulded items physical dimensions vary more than machined items, so to get around such tolerance problems, the solution lies with shims.

Inspect your assembly and see what shims they used.

If you're reassembling the exact same arms and parts, use the same shims.

Each rig's requirements will be different. With my example, it needed something thinner than the smallest plastic shim - so I used a steel one at front of each of the lower pivot pins.

You need to check your rig. Requirements vary -
So yours may need none. Or thicker, plastic ones. It all depends.

It's like shimming your diff in a way. As no 2 are exactly the same, the exact shimming requirements have to be determined by the user.

The upper arms in my experience are far more likely to develop slop as the holes through the arms start to wear and become oval.

Some members here actually go to the trouble of drilling out the holes in the pivot pin hole and insert brass tube into the arm. Slop on the upper arms causes significant, uncontrolled changes to Caster and toe, so it's a decent modification to do.
