Nothing like r&b's.
R&B's shims just go between the hub and the two rearmost holes to counter some toes out effect, camber is not the issue/problem.
I used to run 3 1/2 degrees on my old mk1 sierra with 100% across the face tyre wear, but I did correct the toe.
tabetha
i need the suspension setup pending passing the mot tomoz lol. and need to do someting with the rear end before i do.
its a standard rear end at the mo, not lowered much. so was hoping they would improve the handling.
What I mean is what camber do you have now? What do camber do you want? The difference is what you want to achieve so you can work out the thickness. If you can't work it out either use temporary spacing washers to test or give me the figs and I will work it out for you.
you need to sort the camber as well as the toe, so you need a shim that's sloped on 2 flats so the front upper bolt needs to be the thickest and the rear lowest needs to be the slimest
i just want it to handle as best as poss without the massive cost of an adjustable beam lol
i dont know the camber yet, but if i get the suspension all setup, then start adding bits to the rear after, id need to have it all done again no?
well, if i can make bedford, that will be its first outing, so ill see how it goes on what its on (4x4 rear beam and diff... ) and bring a bag of washers lol.
theres nothing wrong with these shims at all !!!!! they will give you different camber readings for different hights of the car they are totally better than not having them
jim, well, i just thought it would be a good idea to fit some, before it goes to have the suspension setup.
The only thing they do is change the camber and toe at static position, you will still get massive changes with the STD poor geometry, but as it will be better static it makes the changes less
Surely any type of shim is going to cause the surface where the head of the bolt meets the bearing carrier to be angled when tightened so not square to the surface and potentially causing it to shear off under load.

Agreed Paul, Unless wedge shaped washers are used.
