    By my understanding it involves resetting the hub. Ie taking off the wheel, brakes, disc, blah blah blah, putting on the shim and then reversal. Wouldn't be TOO much if you really wanted to do it, but personally I'd probably not do it straight away...I'd have to find a day where I'm REALLY keen to do it

      Don't think you can add shims behind a rotating axle. With the rear beam setup, the camber shims are located behind the stub axles.

            I had a feeling that was the case, what about camber bolts I remember you mentioning those before?

            And does that car even move or does it just sit in his yard so he can take pictures of it

              Camber bolts are for the fronts. Camber up front is adjusted on the strut with two big bolts that have a little play in them. You can't really adjust them to get huge negative or positive camber, it's mainly for alignment...so then when you have bad camber alignment you can get special bolts that help adjust it MORE so you can get the wheel straight.

              If that car moved, the tyres would need replacements weekly..
