Thread: Rear alignment

    Rear alignment

    Does anyone know the shim thickness to camber angle ratio on these rears? In other words, how much shim thickness does it take to make a one degree change in camber?

    Thanks,
    David

    David,

    According to my research, each camber shim changes camber by .25 degrees.

    The shims I have had are .020 thick and like Bob posted are a quarter of degree. There are other shims out there that are thicker but I have not run into them.

    Thanks guys.

    I got a response from Eric at CWI. He says .020" = .5 degree.
    Both of you say .25 degree. I guess it's safe to assume it's in the .25-.50 degree range.

    Thanks,
    David
