How many shims are on either side? People who aren't familiar with our suspension setup can tend to think that shims are a bad thing and zero shims is best. But this is
backwards. All 914s need shims, except the most specialized race cars, but those guys know exactly what they're doing and why.
The worst situation is to have a lot of shims on one side and none on the other. This indicates a bent chassis or other serious rust problems.
The shims are related to your rear camber. An hour or so on Google should get you some good info on roughly checking your camber. As Mike mentioned, setting your camber is part of a complete alignment job. And getting a good alignment can do wonders for your handling, as well as making sure your car tracks straight and saves tire life.
As Mike also mentioned, if you feel like driving down to Sonoma, I'd be happy to help out.
