As far as I know, there are no proper shims available for the Yaris. The "EZ shims" are plastic, which is not an acceptable material. Plastic "cold-creeps" which means it very slowly squirts out of the gap it is filling causing your bolts to lose their torque, and potentially fall out. Common place to see this is plastic drainplug washers. If the EZ Shims were metal, they would be a great option. Using metal washers, or shims that do not fill the entire gap reduces the amount of surface area for and can cause cracks, loss of clamping force etc.

All that is left is custom shims, or replacing the axle beam.
