hi guys,
thanks for the steering rack help. today i was working on the front end and pulled the control arms out. i've replaced all ball joints and updated to urethane bushings. i have questions regarding the alignment. there were NO shims in the upper control arms in either side. there is a 3 bolt bracket and a 2 bolt bracket holding the a-arms to the frame and i have shims to install but i was wondering if there was a general consensus as where to start. i have the shims for both sides. when the car was on the ground it looked to me like it had too much negative camber and was toed out. i was given specs of about 1/2 degree pos. camber, 3 degrees pos. caster, and toe-in about 1/8". does that sound about right? i worked in an automotive garage for 10 years, doing alignments for about 9 of those years so i have quite a bit of experience with alignments. of course it was with a hunter laser machine. these are 1/16" shims. if anyone has tried to do their own alignment i would like to hear what you did and how you made out. my initial thoughts were to put 2 in the rear and 3 in the front to get the camber out and the caster back.

thanks for any help and suggestions.
