rear camber problems??



It's not too difficult to replace/or add a shim---The calipers/brakes, stub
axle, dust shield all need to be removed & then replace/add a shim. You
might want to replace the stub axle to start off with (that's probably the
cause of the problem) the stub axle is not that expensive either--new should
probably be in the range of $50.

There shouldn't BE any shims in there, stock doesn't come with any.

Most of what your talking about is fixed with new axle beam and/or hub
spindles.

You can shim if you like to correct a bent axle, if it's the spindle
just get a new one.
