I ordered a set of shims from mini spares, when they arrived they all had kink in them.

They sent out a telemetry set, but these too are kinked.

Ok to use them?

personally I would, they'll flatten out once torqued up, plus you add / remove shims to get the right resistance anyway.

With the torque on the ball joint they will flatten out.  Must have been knocked in transit.
