The real answer is: You changed stuff, you need to take a selection of shims with you to the alignment shop, even if you have to pay for them like everybody else. The Cap'n The answer I want is the Correct answer. After spending the money I've spent on my teener the last year; I doubt the cost of shims will break my bank account. Yes, I changed the rear springs and shocks/struts, wheel bearings and the list goes on and on but is it possble, depending on the shock setting heighth that shims may not be necessary??? Or, is that against all odds? It is against all odds. With -.5 deg negative in the rear I have a stack of shims about 3/8 + inches high. In the past with -2 deg I had none on one side and about 2mm on the other. I find it odd that for an all out AXer I run very close to stock alignment settings.....cept for ride height. Take them out. Measure them together. Make one piece out of aluminum...its lighter. URY would do it....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Rich |
