Glenn Wheeler Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Oh hang on a minute the shims are to correct the toe in, not neg camber, sorry. Ring him anyway I am sure he will have an answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 You can shim to change camber, you put the shims between the bearing carrier and the ear (rather than between the ear and the de dion to correct toe). It's dead easy to make the shims, just use the bearing carrier or the ear as a template. I keep meaning to measure the bolt hole centrees and calculate the degrees/thou of shim but not got round to it yet. From my last set up 0.25mm shim moved camber by 0.2 deg, 0.5mm shim moved toe by 0.3 deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
