Adding Camber via shims

Luis, an inexpensive way to add in neg. camber, for sure!  Make sure you
use correctly hardened bolts for these as you will need to replace them
with longer length ones if you add in enough shims to actually do any good.
 Do not use Hardware store bolts off the shelf - if they were to shear off
you'd be in a world of hurt (or more correctly, your car would be). 

Don't forget to re-align the toe specs anytime you fiddle with the camber.
