Procedure For Shimming Control Arms To Add Camber?

[Marcus SC&C]

I'm curious how one could check caster at home.

I got my car aligned at Firestone and they don't give printouts with actual numbers anymore.



Just looking at the car from the side, you can see that the front wheels are at least straight up and down, but it looks like they actually have positive camber. I definitely need to add some shims for that, but I'd like to know if it's possible to check caster, too.

Where did you get the shims?

I think I remember seeing them at AutoZone years ago but haven't seen them in a while...

All you need is a handy dandy caster/camber gauge. There are many different types, my favorite is the SPC Fastrax. Shims you can get from any auto parts store. They`ll probably have to order them and some of the young counter guys may not know what you`re talking about but they are available. ;)
